Spring Selection of Poets

​"Elusive, rebel, ball of mercury in the hollow of the palm, medium and radio man, joker schoolboy and exalted baroque, author of the most beautiful love songs and producing the most enigmatic texts, Desnos is never where the reader wishes to follow him. Should we see uncertainty or contradiction in the extreme diversity of tone that the voice of Robert-le-Diable can take? Certainly not. There was only in him, the desire to express poetry in all its forms in all its possibilities. Achieve a language that is both popular and accurate,familiar Andplayful, here is the goal  of a unique trajectory eminently modern.

 

Along with Nerval and Hardelet, he is one of those children from the Marais who “carried within him all the dreams of the world”. Undoubtedly the most inspired of our sleepwalkers, the most playful among his friendssurreal, journalist of his own drama and prophet of the times to come, Robert Desnos is not made for collective action and thinks that there is an incompatibility between the necessary freedom of the poet and militancy under orders. In this and for his violent love of life even in the mud of Terezin, we must salute our eternal contemporary and our brother in life. »
