Bonnefoy was born to [Marius] Elie Bonnefoy, a railroad worker, and Hélène Maury (Bonnefoy), a teacher.
Bonnefoy graduated with honors from the Lycée Descartes in 1941continuing study at the Université de Poitiers and pursing mathematics, science, and philosophy in occupied Paris at the Sorbonne in 1944.
Bonnefoy was an associate professor at Provence University, Aix-en-Provence, between 1979-81 before being elected a the chair at Collège de France, Paris, previously held by Roland Barthes.
[YvesBonnefoy's] is a poetry that refuses to close its eyes to those experiences of loss that identify temporal existence.
Bonnefoy's visionary place of poetry is a "vrai lieu," sacrificial and yet empty of shadow, an orangery closed off where the vacant self is determined at last by its watching and its waiting.
Unsure of his victory, the poet grasps the red flame of the sword, the ardent blade of the most difficult speaking against the gray of a neutral prose; his Arthurian gesture is defined—like all poetry—by its risk.
