The case of the correspondence between Leopold S. Senghor and Roger Brien (1967−1980) This article proposes to study the unpublished and very little known correspondence between Léopold S. Senghor and a Quebec poet, Roger Brien. Our study mainly concerns the way in which Brien forges links with the president of Senegal. The relation Senghor-Brien (its conditions, issues and modalities) is analysed from the point of view of the Canadian poet. By consulting Brien’s letters, we discover three major issues that are organized around his poetic work: the recognition, the dissemination and the publication of his literary works. Highlighting these questions allow us to better understand the functioning and the dynamism of this unexplored relation between the two writers.
