This edition includes poems from the Poesies erotiques and Elegies, which established Parny's reputation; the Chansons madecasses (""Madagascar Songs""), which were influential in the development of the prose poem; five of his published letters, written in a mixture of prose and verse; the narrative poem ""Le Voyage de Celine""; and selections from his sardonic, anticlerical later poetry.
