Poems in English from Jersey Newspapers
Even the French language newspapers used to publish poetry in English from time to time. In fact the French-language newspapers tended to publish more poetry and literature than the English-language newspapers.
The poems published in English tend to concentrate less on topical comment than poems in French or Jèrriais, although elegies on the death of prominent figures occur regularly. These may be of particular interest to researchers into family history.
