description: "Guy Goffette was a Belgian-born poet and writer. Goffette published his first book of poems in 1969. After then he worked as an editor at the publishing company Gallimard. Goffette's poetry has been compared to Verlaine – the contemporary French poet Yves Bonnefoy remarkedGoffette is an heir to Verlaine. A poet who very courageously has decided to remain faithful to his own personal life, in its humblest moments. He keeps things simple, he is marvelously able to capture the emotions and desires common to us all. Goffette is without question one of the best poets of the present moment in France."
