After the themes of Ardor, Beauty, Courage, Desire and then the Ephemeral, the 25th edition of the Printemps des Poètes highlights this year and until March 27, 2023, the Borders. A word that appeals to our imagination. A world beyond borders that unite and disorient more than they separate.
Poets are tightrope walkers, whose art, which can be learned by heart, is as light as the wind. However, poets are not above ground. As if to point out, the 25th edition of the Spring of poets is dedicated to the Borders. Those of barbed wire or stone, which men erect, poets abolish and castigate. But borders are also those of our inner geographies, between the living and the dead, between oneself and others.
With us to explore this concrete and symbolic geography, three poets: the Maori poet Nassuf Djailini, the poet-adventurer Patrice Franceschi and the poet-publisher Bruno Doucey.
The Spring of the Poets is to discover until March 27, 2023 on the whole planet.
Reporting : Did you know that Pierre de Ronsard, Jean de la Fontaine or Victor Hugo praised the sciences through poems? As part of the 2023 edition of the Printemps des Poètes, our reporter Chloe Sitbon went to the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Paris, which highlights poetry that is both astonishing and unprecedented.
