I read some of it in high school, and then in my "free" time (still in a school setting though). Some parts made me so nostalgic! I remember reading and talking about one specific poem with my friends at the time, so I guess my rating is kinda influenced by these memories :,) I had the chance to read all of it this time, and found some great joy and comfort in quite a few of them.

Chiant à mourir

[Kitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read chapters of this probably in High School and then undergrad in French. I return to it, periodically in my teaching, delighting in the perceptions, language play and since Dec. 2009, am working seriously on my own translations of it to share.

More prose poetry by a poet I love. Descriptions of the qualities and characteristics (physical but also linguistic and etymological) of everyday things.
Translations exist.

Il se prend vraiment pour quelqu'un ce mec! Franchement, il suffit de lire quelques poèmes pour comprendre le principe.
