Elegies

Rate this book
Rassemblées pour la première fois en livre, ces sept élégies ont été écrites de 1969 à 1989. Durant ces vingt années, elles ont accompagné et ponctué le travail d’écriture d’Emmanuel Hocquard, en prose comme en vers. Les élégies n’ont évidemment pas pour fonction d’éclairer le lecteur sur un passé individuel mais, au contraire, de le faire assister à un arrachement du biographique, c’est-à-dire du culturel, et de ce qui nourrit, au départ, toute écriture lyrique : le narcissisme, les états d’âme, la douleur, l’amour, les souvenirs, les soupirs et les regrets.

Emmanuel Hocquard

46 books14 followers
Emmanuel Hocquard (born in 1940 in Cannes) was a French poet who grew up in Tangier, Morocco. He served as the editor of the small press Orange Export Ltd., and, with Claude Royet-Journoud, edited two anthologies of new American poets, 21+1: Poètes américains ď aujourďhui (with a corresponding English volume, 21+1 American Poets Today) and 49+1. In 1989, Hocquard founded and directed "Un bureau sur l'Atlantique", an association fostering relations between French and American poets.

Besides poetry, he has written essays, a novel, and translated American and Portuguese poets including Charles Reznikoff, Michael Palmer, Paul Auster, Benjamin Hollander, Antonio Cisneros, and Fernando Pessoa. With the artist Alexandre Delay, he made a video film, Le Voyage à Reykjavik.

Les textes sont beaux, modernes, mais je n'ai rien compris.
