«Poèmes saturniens» is Paul Verlaine's poetry collection, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (222 pages, in French).
The title places these poems under the sign of Saturn: inspired compositions, bathed in a sweet and learned reverie, with the gaze turned inward. Almost without stories or anecdotes, in brief sonnets Verlaine evokes memories, a beloved figure of uncertain outline and melancholic states. The apparent simplicity conceals a very measured technique.
The edition is edited by Martine Bercot and belongs to the Classiques collection of Le Livre de Poche.
For readers of nineteenth-century French poetry and students of French seeking an annotated edition.
Paul Marie Verlaine was a French poet, writer and critic associated with the Symbolist, Parnassianist and Decadent movements. He is considered one of the paramount exponents of the fin de siècle in French and international poetry.
