Paris 1972: Poèmes d'Un Été

This is an easy to read collection of poems written in French. It is a tribute to the City of Paris and also to the mind of an American teenager who is visiting Paris for the summer.

Betsy Quint-Feldman began learning French at the age of four and longed to visit the City of Lights. Her father sent her to Paris in 1972 and these poems are her recollections of what transpired during that trip. She was fortunate to be able to live alone on the Left Bank and explore Paris by herself, and now she is sharing her adolescent impressions of a wonderful city that is known for fashion, food, art, and beauty.

Betsy Quint-Feldman is a retired NYC Reading Teacher who grew up in New York City and Massachusetts. She began to learn French at the age of four and was fortunate enough to visit Paris at the age of 17! This poetry collection is a tribute to her many escapades in the City of Paris. As an American teenager she had a unique experience living alone in Paris and she has never forgotten what she saw. Long live Paris and long live poetry!
