Denys Corbet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Denys Corbet (1826-1910) was a British poet and painter who wrote in the Dgernesiais language, used historically (but with little modern use) in Guernsey the Channel Islands.
Corbet described himself as the Draïn Rimeux (last poet). He is best known for his poems, especially the epic L'Touar de Guernesy, a picaresque tour of the parishes of Guernsey.
As editor of the French-language newspaper Le Bailliage, he also wrote prose columns in Dgèrnésiais under the pen name Badlagoule ("chatterbox").
