C’est un très bon livre! Loved the different conceptualizations of love — very well put together compilation of poetry. Also helped me improve my emerging French abilities.

Short collection of translated French poetry, English and French versions side by side. I didn't love some of the translations, they lean more towards imitating the spirit/artistry rather than the meaning. There also seemed to be no reasoning for the selection/ordering.

This is a pretty little book of poetry, more lustful than loving. It includes a few particularly poignant poems alongside some that strike the heart a little less.

While mostly from the 19th century I had hoped there would have been a few more modern ones. Still there are some bangers in here while others are very much a product of their time in terms of prose which is pretty dope to see.
