Summary:"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, Francois Villon, Christine de Pizan, Marguerite de Navarre, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarme, Apollinaire, and many more--mingle with such diverse representatives of the modern Francophone world as Leopold Senghor, Venus Khoury-Ghata, and Hedi Kaddour. Patrick McGuiness's dazzling selection encapsulates all the splendors of French poetry"--
"A selection of English translations of French poetry from medieval to modern times, in the hardcover Everyman's Library Pocket Poet series"--
