Synopsis

A collection of poems in French, which the author had published himself in Paris in 1975, five years after his first book. A publisher in Tours reissued it in 2024, in a small unpaginated volume of about seventy pages.

Context

The collection appeared in 1975 in Paris, under its author's own imprint alone, after a first book published in 1971 by a maison de la culture. Nearly fifty years later, Éditions Atmen, in Tours, reissued it in their series “Avec un salut”, in a fifteen-centimetre volume, unpaginated, accompanied by a bookmark and an insert. The Bibliothèque nationale de France holds this 2024 reissue and does not list the original edition.

Who it is for

A collection of poetry in French, available again since its 2024 reissue in Tours.

Prizes and reception

Published by its author in 1975, the book found a publisher again in 2024; the poet was later awarded prizes in 1991 and 1994.
