Guy Gofete (born 18 April 1947) is a Belgian-born poet and writer.[1] Gofete published his first book of poems in 1969.[2] Since then he has worked as an editor at the publishing company Gallimard. Gofete's poetry has been compared to Verlaine (of whom Gofete has written a fictional "biography") - the contemporary French poet Yves Bonnefoy remarked

Gofete 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. Gofete is without question one of the best poets of the present moment in France.[3]

Gofete's short fiction (récits) often reimagine historic figures - the poet Paul Verlaine in Verlaine d'ardoise et de pluie (1995) and again in L'autre Verlaine (2007) or the painter Pierre Bonnard through his muse Marthe in Elle, par bonheur et toujours nue (published in English as Forever Nude in 2008). For several years, the American poet and critic Marilyn Hacker has translated a number of his poems, which have appeared in The Paris Review, TriQuarterly, Barrow Street, and Poetry London. A bilingual anthology of her translations of Gofete's poetry, Charlestown Blues , was published in 2007 by University Of Chicago Press

In addition to his poetry and his fiction, Gofete is a prolific essayist and a critic who regularly contributes to the Nouvelle Revue Française.
