“ ‘What are patterns for?: the horizons of form in The New Poetry (1917)”
2009
In the early twentieth century, the relationship between poets and the rules that preside over composition is cast as a conflictual one, characteristic of modernity's mythologizing of formal innovation as a path to artistic autonomy, achieved through the destruction of codes. The anthology entitled The New Poetry, which was published in 1917 by Harriet Monroe and Alice Corbin Henderson, faithfully reflects the construct of a poetics established upon the reappraisal of the constraints set by meter and rhyme, as in the example of free verse. However, while celebrating avenues to experiment, the anthology brings to light the limitations of the myth of formal autonomy in a cultural climate shap…

The lexicon and poetics from Du Bellay's Regrets (1558) in post Pléiade spiritual poetry (1560-1600).
2022
Starting from an advanced analysis of the lexicon dealing with suffering, which is used in the Regrets, this works aims at revealing that spiritual poets from late 16th century employ the same words and phrases but with different meanings. Indeed the regret of the homeland becomes that of sins and the exiled poet's suffering becomes that of the sinner. The main topics of the Regrets such as the passing of time and the return to the homeland are used with a different meaning and, then, a different purpose. This work aims to study the transfer of vocabulary and poetics from a secular context to a religious and penitential one; spiritual poets also use the sonnet. Finally this PhD thesis inten…
Identité composite et métissage dans « Letter to Friends » de Leontia Flynn
2015
In “Letter to Friends” (Profit and Loss, 2011), a long epistolary poem inspired by Letters from Iceland (1937) by W. H. Auden and Louis MacNeice, Leontia Flynn paints an introspective and retrospective self-portrait in which she examines all the elements that have formed her existence until her recent maternity. The identity that emerges from this intimate inventory is plural, “mixed” or “multi-breed” (Édouard Glissant), the cultural mix resulting not only from history, globalization and travel but also from temporal, linguistic and psychological shifts or ruptures.Flynn’s lyrical and polyphonic (if not cacophonous) piece, bursting with asides, debating a multitude of subjects in an infinit…
Undercurrents and crosscurrents revealed: Sinéad Morrissey’s parallactic poetry
2015
International audience; In Parallax (2013), her most recent collection of poems, Sinéad Morrissey is attracted to affections “embedded in our cells”, to realities “on the periphery”, to “what happens outside”, to “the accidental”, to “world[s] that can’t be entered”, to “conversation[s] no one else can hear”. She also explores oblique, alternative perspectives that she describes in “The Mutoscope” as “what-the-butler-saw perspective[s]”. Parallax – the optical phenomenon used in astronomy to measure the distance of nearby stars and celestial bodies - serves as the prime metaphor for Morrissey’s poetical and metaphysical quest: the implications of the angle of vision and distance on percepti…
"Over the last hill": Wilfred Owen's "Spring Offensive"
2021
Being the poet’s last completed piece, “Spring Offensive” makes France Wilfred Owen’s last poetic landscape. The article explores the ways in which “Spring Offensive” continuously crosses and blurs the borders between the French landscape and the poet’s English heritage; it also emphasizes the sensuousness of the landscape and of the war experience, so that the bodies of the soldiers and nature fuse and interact. “Spring Offensive” thus comes to reflect Owen’s search for balance, a search of which the French landscape becomes the natural yet symbolic representation.
