Beecher has examined at length G. Sand's relations with the poet-worker Charles Poncy because they may exemplify both the success and failure of Sand's attempts to get closer to "the people." "J'ai reçu par votre intermédiaire, les 3 volumes de M. Poncy, et je veux vous remercier de m'avoir fait lire de très beaux vers que je ne connaissais pas. J'ai dévoré le livre et j'en parle à tous ceux qui pourront en écrire du bien. Ceci est d'Armand Sylvestre un poète très remarquable et très brave et digne garçon.

His first book, entitled Marines, was published in 1842, when he was twenty-one years old. This first collection came into the hands of George Sand. He is enthusiastic about his talent and strongly encourages him, especially in his numerous letters (published in the Revue des deux Mondes in 1909), advising him, however, to speak more about his work as a laborer by expressing himself less in an affectionate lyricism toward his wife.The letter also mentions the storyteller and poet Paul Armand Silvestre, 1837 - 1901, who had begun his long literary career, in 1866, with a collection of Rimes neuves et Avieilles, presented by George Sand himself.See Jonathan Beecher, George Sand "The People" Found and Lost, in Writers and Revolution Intellectuals and the French Revolution of 1848, Cambridge University Press, 2021.
