"This book treats a constellation of French poets whose work began appearing in the 1970s: Jacques Roubaud, Emmanuel Hocquard, Danielle Collobert, Anne Portugal, and Jacques Jouet. Roubaud is the most famous among the five-a giant in current French letters. He and Jouet are both part of Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, or Oulipo, a movement well-known for using constraints in creating their work. Hocquard, who shared Roubaud's interest in Wittgenstein and photography, and Jouet's in the everyday, is known as a "literal" poet. Collobert, whom Roubaud and Hocquard admired, was a Beckett-like writer. And Anne Portugal has a baroque temperament-even kitsch, she says-while reserving great respect for the austere Hocquard and for Roubaud, expert formalist. Rather than address each of these five poets separately, Ann Smock moves among their books, drawing them into a juxtaposition that shows each to great advantage, while providing a milieu suitable for philosophical reflection-on identity, on not-being and being, on communication, and on secrets. Thinkers such as Wittgenstein and Giorgio Agamben contribute to the conversation, as do Jean-Luc Nancy and Maurice Blanchot. Though the poems considered here are often thought difficult, Smock maintains a light touch throughout. Observing their musicality, she writes in an accessible, even pleasurable style while contributing to the scholarly study of literature at the border shared by poetry and philosophy"--

« Ce petit ouvrage permet à tout un chacun de composer à volonté cent mille milliards de sonnets, tous réguliers bien entendu. C'est somme toute une sorte de machine à fabriquer des poèmes, mais en nombre limité ; il est vrai que ce nombre, quoique limité, fournit de la lecture pour près de deux cents millions d'années (en lisant vingt-quatre heures sur vingt-quatre), » nous dit Jacques Prévert, dans la préface.

Experimentation and the Lyric in Contemporary French Poetry offers a new theoretical approach and historical perspective on the remarkable upsurge in creative poetic practices in France that have challenged traditional definitions of poetry and of the lyric. Focusing on the work of Pierre Alferi, Olivier Cadiot, Emmanuel Hocquard, Franck Leibovici, Anne Portugal and Denis Roche, this book provides an analysis of the most influential poets in French poetry of the last few decades. It contextualizes the theoretical models that inform their investigations, analyzing them alongside the history of the avant-garde and the heated theoretical debates that have taken place over whether to continue or bring an end to the lyric. Systematically addressing the various strategies employed by these poets and drawing on reception theory and cognitive studies, Jeff Barda argues that French radical poetics re-evaluates the lyric in cognitive terms beyond the personal. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in twenty-first-century forms of experimental writing and the connections between literature and the arts today.
