Editing Tristan Corbière (section)

==Poetry==
Corbière's only published verse in his lifetime appeared in ''Les amours jaunes'', 1873, a volume that went almost unnoticed until [[Paul Verlaine]] included him in his gallery of ''[[Poète maudit|poètes maudits]]'' (accursed poets). Thereafter Verlaine's recommendation was enough to establish him as one of the masters acknowledged by the [[Symbolism (arts)|Symbolists]], and he was subsequently rediscovered and treated as a predecessor by the [[surrealists]].<ref>Wallace Fowlie, ''Poem and Symbol'' (2010) p. 94</ref>

Close-packed, linked to the ocean and his Breton roots, and tinged with disdain for Romantic sentimentalism,<ref>Geoffrey Brereton, ''A Short History of French Literature'' (1954) p. 299</ref> his work is also characterised by its idiomatic play and exceptional modernity. He was praised by both [[Ezra Pound]] and [[T. S. Eliot]] (whose work he had a great influence on).<ref>{{cite book|last=Warner|first=Val|title=Centenary Corbière|year=2003|publisher=Routledge|location=New York|isbn=0-415-96939-5}}</ref>

Eliot used his self-description as "Mélange adultère de tout" as the title for one of his own (French) poems.<ref>Wallace Fowlie, ''Poem and Symbol'' (2010) p. 96</ref> Many subsequent modernist poets have also studied him,<ref>S. Cushman et al eds., ''The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics'' (2012) p. 891</ref> and he has often been translated into English.<ref>[[Val Warner]] intro, ''Centenary Corbière'' (2003)</ref> 

His complete poems appear in two volumes with translations by the English poet [[Christopher Pilling]].<ref>''These jaundiced loves A translation of Tristan Corbière's Les Amours Jaunes'' by Christopher Pilling.
