1868-1938 FR, Tournay, Hautes-Pyrénées
Spoken Word and Classical
Francis Jammes ([ʒam]; born 2 December 1868 in Tournay, Hautes-Pyrénées - died 1 November 1938 in Hasparren, Pyrénées-Atlantiques) was a French poet. He spent most of his life in his native region of Béarn and the Basque Country and his poems are known for their lyricism and for singing the pleasures of a humble country life (donkeys, maidens). His later poetry remained lyrical, but also included a strong religious element brought on by his "conversion" to Catholicism (more a return to the faith as he had always been a Catholic).
