This volume includes Nelligan's key poems, accompanied by robust commentary covering such topics as the women in Nelligan's life, the nature of his breakdown, and the several controversies surrounding his life and work. This collection of 46 poems, translated from French, has been selected for both poetic and psychological interest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the valley breeze where the moonlight glows \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCome all ye blonde belles and brown-haired beaus, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhere the fiddle plays and the woodwind blows, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e Dance the villanelle! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Villanelle Violin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA mighty Ship there was, of solid gold 'twas spun, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIts masts touched the sky, it sailed on seas unknown, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhile naked Aphrodite, tresses wildly blown, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReclined along the prow before the blazing sun.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- The Ship of Gold\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52703191269683,"sku":"9781989048771","price":27.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Y3Y3S3BhQWVLZVpVMkVSSjA1eDBDdz09.webp?v=1763319646","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/selected-verse-of-emile-nelligan-quebecs-great-lyric-poet-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
