Abstract
Abstract:
Many of the works discussed in this year's article reflect two significant trends in contemporary French poetry: poets' fascination with place in its connections to memory and community; and the cultivation of an impersonal lyricism challenging conventional practices of lyric "voice." The article also considers texts concerned with mourning, the reviving of works by poets from the past, and the exploration of creativity through the metaphor of a child at play.
