All of this is to overlook that Bonnefoy showed great dedication to the essay as a form of communication, valuing its vibrant potential to connect people and ideas in the contemporary world. As Roesler shows in this ground-breaking study, the essay, for Bonnefoy, may indeed be a bridge between philosophy and poetry, but it is also itself. Its stylistic malleability integrates an eminently modern position, and provides Bonnefoy with a platform from which, beneath his characteristic humility, he constantly guides and directs the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLayla Roesler teaches at the Ecole Normale Sup�rieure of Lyon.
