Anjela Duval
Farmer and Breton poetess
Born at Le Vieux-Marché on April 3, 1905
Died in Lannion on November 7, 1981
"I resist on all fronts"
Anjela Duval is this woman who, during the day, cultivates the ground of her small farm, Traoń an Dour, and who,
every evening, takes her books and writes poems, become among the most liked in Breton language.
Breton is her language of everyday, and she learned the literary language, which she enriches by her words,
by her sensitivity. Her poems reveal her lucid love of nature, her rage against the organized decline of Breton,
her anguishes, her humour
