Without research, do you know who Léopold Sédar Senghor is?
Yes. I must have been five or six when I read a translation of "Je veux dire ton nom" in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Talking to the Sun: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems for Young People (1985), accompanied by a photograph of the beautiful jasper Fragment of a Queen's Face. It was my favorite poem in the anthology. I looked him up on my own for the first time in high school.
