Summary: "The Senegalese poet and humanist Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906-2001) - the first president of Senegal - played an essential role in the development of a negro-African consciousness and identity. One of the pioneers of "negritude" with Césaire, he gives African poetry a human universality that assimilates and praises spiritual originality. His poetry - often symbolist - is inspired by incantatory singing whose words and rhythms are linked to the mind and body. As the first African elected to the French Academy, his poetic voice expresses the hope of creating a civilization of the universal uniting traditions and abandoning differences in favor of a cultural crossbreeding".

This new edition includes the cycle of the Élégies Majeures itself augmented by an unpublished poem, Élégies pour Philippe-Maguilen Senghor.
