In 1926 Dauphiné resident Suzanne Renaud (1889-1964) married Czech poet and engraver Bohuslav Reynek in Grenoble and, shortly before the 1938 Anschluss, moved to Czechoslovakia, where her poetry was admired thanks to Bohuslav Reynek but remained little known in France in its original language. This first volume of a critical edition of her Œuvre poétique [Poetic Work] at last gives her work its place in French literature. “It is time for Suzanne Renaud to find her place among her own: poets in her language, the French language, but also the Czech poets whose conditions and torments she chose to share. It is time for her to find her place among the poets of her kind, the poets of disquietude, anguish and faith, those for whom splendour lies at the bottom of things, with their secret light and substance behind it, even if it is too much trouble to see it.” (Václav Jamek, preface).
