A beautifully jacketed hardcover collection of verse by French-speaking poets from cultures across the globe, spaning the ages from medieval to modern. EVERYMAN’S LIBRARY POCKET
POETS.
From the troubadours of the Middle Ages to the titans of modern poetry, from Rabelais and Ronsard to Raymond Queneau and Yves Bonnefoy, French Poetry offers a one-volume introduction to
this rich and varied poetic tradition. Great writers of past centuries--La Fontaine, François Villon, Christine de Pizan, Marguerite de Navarre, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé,
Apollinaire, and many more--mingle with such diverse representatives of the modern Francophone world as Léopold Senghor, Vénus Khoury-Ghata, and Hédi Kaddour. Patrick McGuiness’s dazzling
selection encapsulates all the splendors of French poetry.
