A reminder : ‘Le Printemps des Poètes Couleur Femme’ in Saussignac

If you haven't booked yet, do it now -- everyone is talking about this amazing event!




This year, to celebrate not only our beautiful contemporary French poetry, but also the amazing heritage we have in the poets of the last many centuries, Albert Croce of the Le Centre Aquitaine Langues is offering an unprecendented and generous programme for everyone!


The Centre Aquitaine Langues is happy to launch two events for the National Celebration of ‘Le Printemps des Poètes Couleur Femme’ in Saussignac

1. One week French course with the theme: ‘ Contemporary Women in Poetry’ From Monday 8 to Friday 12 March 9.00-12.30pm at the fabulously affordable cost of 196€

2. A ‘Soirée’ on 13 March to highlight the Célébration with a special guest the talented writer and poet Christophe Marmorat followed by poetry reading, a concert of songs by Contre Façon and a buffet
The featured poet this year is the wonderful Andrée Chédid. She was born in 1920 in Cairo and came to Europe at the age of 14. Later she returned to Cairo to attend the American university and then lived in Paris from 1946. Andrée Chédid wrote a large collection of anthologies, a few pieces for children, theatre pieces, essays, and novels. In 2003 she received the Prix Goncourt for poetry.

Here is a taste of the treat you are in for!

L'Autre -- Andrée Chédid

À force de m’écrire
Je me découvre un peu
Je recherche l’Autre

J’aperçois au loin
La femme que j’ai été
Je discerne ses gestes
Je glisse sur ses défauts
Je pénètre à l’intérieur
D’une conscience évanouie
J’explore son regard
Comme ses nuits

Je dépiste et dénude un ciel
Sans réponse et sans voix
Je parcours d’autres domaines
J’invente mon langage
Et m’évade en Poésie

Retombée sur ma Terre
J’y répète à voix basse
Inventions et souvenirs

À force de m’écrire
Je me découvre un peu
Et je retrouve l’Autre.

Christophe Marmorat, the poet who will be the special guest and read a few of his beautiful poems from his latest work, has been writing for 20 years and syas of his writing:
La musique et l'image sont au coeur de mon univers, et c'est uniquement en écoutant en boucle de la musique que j'écris des textes...très visuels.
