About the Author
Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo, born Joseph-Casimir Rabearivelo, was a prolific Malagasy poet, novelist, and translator born in Antananarivo, Madagascar between 1901 and 1903.
He was amongst the first generation to be born under French colonial rule in Madagascar, resulting in the repression and impoverishment of Rabearivelo's family. As such, Rabearivelo suffered academically and left school early in 1915. In 1924, Rabearivelo began his life-long role as a proofreader for the Imerina Printing Press. In the same year, he published his first collection of poems, The Cup of Ashes, and translated twelve Malagasy-language poems into French. This introduced him to Antananarivo's prestigious literary circles in which he became a leading figure of poetry, prose, plays, and translations.
He founded the literary journal New Progress in 1931 aiming to promote the circulation of Malagasy-language poetry. Over his career, he published seven volumes of poetry, with his most acclaimed collection, Translation of the Night (1932) translated into French in 1935 and later into English in 2007.
Rabearivelo died in 1937.
Translated from the French by Robert Ziller.
