Jacques PrvertJacques Prvert (February 4, 1900 - April 11, 1977) was a French poet and screenwriter. Prvert was associated with surrealism and Pataphysics, and his poems are typically about life in Paris. They were published in his books Paroles (1946), Histoires (1946), Spectacle (1951), La Pluie et beau temps (1955), and Choses et autres (1973). Some of his works were set to music by Joseph Kosma. American French textbooks also utilize his poems, although many of his works are too vulgar for American highschools. Prvert also wrote a number of screenplays for the film director Marcel Carn, among them Drle de drame (Bizarre, Bizarre, 1937), Le jour se lve (Daybreak, 1939) and, perhaps most famously, Les enfants du paradis (The Children of Paradise, 1945). His poems are widely taught in French schools. Prvert, Jacques Prvert, Jacques Prvert, Jacques Prvert, Jacques
