This paper is a study of Jacques Roubaud's reading of American free verse practices, as expressed in his theoretical writings, translations, and in the poems Roubaud published in Dors (1981), which he claims are patterned after the «short measures » of William Carlos Williams and Louis Zukofsky. The article attempts to show how Roubaud uses a short line in Dors to develop specific prosodie and semantic effects in French, which paradoxically put into question the principle trait which Roubaud associates with «American free verse», the inseparability of the written and the spoken
