Associated Press writer
PARIS. - Ten year = old
French poet Minou Drouet
lives In q world OF words
which, she says. follow each
other like raindrops beating
on her bedroom window,
But the question all over
France Ia does this rain
storm OF words devolve d.
rectly from Minou or from
her foster mother, Nine.
Claude Drouet, q former
schoolteacher.
Two years ago Minou Gre
ated a literary sensation with
the publication Of her first
poems. They had neither
rhyme nor rhythm. like most
modern French poetry, but
stunned critics by their ma
turity and q certain UNDER
lying bitterness.
Just when the argument
had divided France into two
literary camps-those who
thought her q genius and
those who regarded the whole
thing as a hoax--Minou sud-
denly announced that she
had stopped writing poetry.
Instead, she said. she is writ
ing q novel. II will be called
THE Reptiles OF Light"
Sitting wistfully In the liv-
ing room OF Nine. Drouet's
five-room apartment in the
northern section Of Paris,
Minou had no objections to
discussing her latest project.
A New Novel
1T will be about a girl who
is blind and knows more
secrets than anyone else in
the village" she said. daintily
lingering the hem OF a blue
dress with white stars. which
Nine. Drouet says Minou
designed.
Her long blond hair was
gathered at the top with a
blue ribbon. like any other
l0-year-old's.
The title. Minou explained.
pertains to the little blind
girl. You see her fingers
are like reptiles, her reptiles
of light. She saw the world
through them"
II the novel is even re-
motely photographed. 1t
goes back a long way. even
for a l0-year-old. Minou
had failing sight at the age
OF Is months. when she was
adopted by Nine. DrOuet. a
spinster, after her parents
had been lost at sea.
Doctors at first thought
blindness inevitable. said
Nine. Drouet. But surgery
saved her and now her sight
is normal.
When she was about 5
Minou heard Bach played on
the radio and was tremen-
dously moved. She began TO
write" said Nine. Drouet.
Her first poem was about
herself. She compared her
self to a little stone forgotten
by the sea. Ever since then
she has had deep feeling
for words. Words come TO
her"
Minou does not go TO
school. teachers come 10 the
house. She reads science
books and takes correspond
ence courses.
In addition TO her world
OF words. Minou is sur
rounded by a world OF ad-
miring adults. who shower
her with kisses and presents.
Some are simply curious:
others seek publicity through
her reputation.

SHE'S ONLY TEN
Young French Poet
Lives in Word World

ignition As . poet, They
asked her 10 write q poem.
then and there. on either OF
two subjects. She chose THE
Paris Sky"
Critics were stunned by
the 3s-line poem. which In
cluded this symbol-strewn
thought:
II feel you 70 near. 40 heavy
So open like q field OF war
Tufted with blood-colored
grass
That I feel
! don't know why
Ny whole body resting on
you :"
The handwriting was large
and childish. There were q
few spelling mistakes. But,
without doubt. Minou had
scored q tremendous victory
In enemy territory. She was
accepted. Her publisher, Rene
Julliard, was swamped with
material from precocious
poets and novelists all over
Europe.
1t was Julliard who
brought out FRANCHISE Sa-
cams Bon Jour TrtsteSse"
and stirred up another liter
airy storm when he published
the scrubbed memoirs OF
Berthe Grimault. a teen-aeed
farm girl from central
France.
Minou, however. promises
to be his most versatile dis
coyery. Besides poems and
novels. she also composes her
own pieces for piano and
guitar, and claims TO have
written 10 songs and an OPP
eretta about herself.
1t is about Minou's life
as she sees it now" confided
Nine. Drouet.
Minou also designs her own
clothes and made the final
decision on the pastel decor
OF her bedroom. which faces
a grim courtyard. One of the
two windows is covered by a
painting representing the
sea.
There are several portraits
OF Minou about the walls. a
number OF flgurines scattered
about. but a big teddy bear
and a stuffed dog are the
only real indications that a
child lives here.
Minou has one pet, a para
keet named Billou.
Il like solitude" She said
Il like rain that beats against
the windows. / like grey
skies
