It is possible to present the public at large with material bordering on the academic, while also providing exhaustive works on a given subject for more scholarly readers.
This is the goal of “Architecture du Verbe”—a new Collection devoted to the various forms of poetic language.
Each volume will offer readers the dual benefit of:
-  a serious and thorough exploration of the technical aspects associated with each particular form: its history, specificities, various ways in which it can be used, etc.
-  the joy of reading an annotated anthology of the most beautiful and fascinating instances of poetic language in literary history.
This approach was taken in response to very strong public demand—regrettably not expressed very often—to help readers better understand the various poetic forms. It is also meant to serve as a work tool for more expert readers and, most important of all, to give each and every person the kind of enjoyment that only poetry can inspire.
The Collection is also intended to encourage the public to rediscover a few essential classic poems that have become nearly impossible to find over the past few years.
