FRENCH POETRY
In this two-hour workshop hosted in English, we will dive into the works of prominent figures of French poetry in the 19th (Charles Baudelaire), 20th (Paul Eluard) and 21st century (Cécile Coulon). We will also explore the contemporary poetry scene and some of the exciting new voices who have emerged in the last few years. After learning about these poets’ lives and bodies of work, we’ll take a closer look at specific poems and their English translations.
As a participant, you will also be invited to share and talk about your favorite poem, in French or English!
