Patrice de La Tour du Pin (1911–1975) was a major  French, Catholic poet of the mid-twentieth century. As a poet, he achieved fame  for individual collections of poems as well as Une Somme de poésie, a three-volume multi-genred work he wrote and  continually revised throughout his life. Late in his career, de La Tour du Pin  distilled and collected his most powerful lyrical poems, written in the form of  psalms, into Psaumes de tous mes temps.  These psalms trace de La Tour du Pin’s combined interest in poetry and religion  and articulate his struggle to find poetic authority and spiritual meaning in  the midst of world war and modern tumult.
