This review is from: Poesies (World Classics) (French Edition) (Hardcover)

Mallarmé's poetry can be a bit dense, thick, and perplexing on the first read through (esp. when it's done in French!) but after a closer readings of the poems, you can usually figure out somewhat easily what he is trying to say. And it's very rewarding once you do! So put some time and effort into it and conquer one of the most confusing French poets out there!
