Rencontres Avec La Poesie : un guide pratique pour la lecture et l'analyse du poeme

Rencontres avec la poésie: un guide pratique pour la lecture et l'analyse du poème is intended as an introduction to the world of French poetry — too often considered mysterious and inaccessible.

This is a guide that helps students to practice reading and analyzing poetry, and strives to meet the needs of both the student and the literature professor.

This manual explains, in a clear and concise manner, the essential elements of versification: meter, rhymes, rhythms, tropes and figure rhetoric, and sonorous games.

This is a guide that encourages new understanding of poetry while offering practical exercises that accompany every chapter.

The examples in the book are pulled from France, Quebec, and other French-speaking nations.

Methods, practice, and models follow the poems and facilitate the first step to understanding French poetry for students.
