Marc de Faoite

 Seconde Main (Second Hand) is a collection of 13 poems by the French poet Michel Lagrange.  Each of the poems are inspired by different paintings by the contemporary American painter and muralist  David Carmack Lewis.  Marc de Faoite has translated the poems from French to English and collectively these three collaborators have created a bi-lingual book featuring the poems and the images that inspired the poems.  The first edition was limited to 250 hand numbered copies signed by the artist.  Second Main is currently available for purchase  here  and from  47 Baker Street  bookshop in Evian-les-Bains, 74500 France
