The mapping of time and space provides a helpful pathway for tracing significant trends in French poetry of 2017. Three major new anthologies of poems-Un nouveau monde, 120 nuances d'Afrique, and Du cloître à la place publique-cover trends in French experimental poetry of the last fifty years, poetry of Francophone Africa and its diaspora, and northern French poetry of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, respectively. Along with posthumous work by Guillevic and Jacques Dupin, I look at new books of poetry by Anne Teyssiéras, Emmanuel Moses, Auxeméry, and Véronique Pittolo in detail, followed by condensed reviews.
