‘A lively and gorgeously printed ‘small’ magazine of work by lovers of France and things French who do and do not reside there.’ Fred Johnston, Director, The Western Writers’ Centre, Galway http://www.twwc.ie/

'The French Literary review is a smart magazine with a new, unusual spin: high quality prose and poetry written in English, but with a connection to France. There is a satisfying coherence in the magazine because of its consistent link to the country and language, and this, combined with a wide range of styles and approaches make it an exciting and unique publication.' Jacqueline Saphra - Poet, playwright and screenwriter

‘Love of good writing, love of France, the French and all things rustique. That's what you need to run The French Literary Review... that and a sound editorial eye. Issue No. 10, for the most part, celebrates the 2008 Poetry Symposium held at the Château de Queille in the Ariège - a long weekend - a meeting of literary minds. Who is The Lady of Quielle? What do they mean to us now, the Cathars and Baudelaire? Why drink Blanquette when you could have Champagne? Interesting ideas and fine writing. Subscribe, sit back, enjoy.’ Anne Stewart, founder of the poetrypf website http://www.poetrypf.co.uk

Poèsies et Mondes poétiques

Rédacteur en chef :Matthieu Baumier

Le numéro 18 de la revue britannique (cependant basée en France) The French Literary Review nous parvient avec comme thème « Writing with a french connection ». La revue est dirigée par Barbara Dordi, elle-même poète. On y fait de très belles découvertes, de poètes qui seront bientôt amenés à publier dans les pages de Recours au Poème, d’autres aussi. Ainsi, Marcus Smith, June Blumenson, Margaret Beston ou Violet Dench. Parmi une vingtaine de poètes. Une aventure à saluer, la poésie étant ici une sorte de trait d’union entre la France et le Royaume-Uni, une histoire d’amour et d’amitié entre deux pays. Entre les poètes de ces deux pays. De très beaux textes. On découvrira les poètes de plusieurs numéros de cette revue en suivant le lien ci après :
