Jacques Prévert (4 February 1900 – 11 April 1977) was a French poet and screenwriter, author of poems and song lyrics.

Best known for the poetry collection Paroles and for writing song lyrics set to music by composers such as Joseph Kosma; his texts were performed by artists like Yves Montand. Per Te Amore Mio is a curated collection of Prévert's love poems (curated by Leopoldo Carra).

A positive review (4/5) of the collection Per Te Amore Mio, curated by Leopoldo Carra, highlights Prévert's direct, accessible language and recurring theme of love. The reviewer praises the anthology's selection and emotional immediacy. The book groups poems into topical chapters and contains few weak moments.

For:Readers of poetry, students of French literature, people interested in lyric and love poems

 "Love is" cannot be said; just like "life is", "faith is", or "music is", those three words cannot stand in the same sentence in that order.
