Showing titles in Poetry

C'est par ce quatrain décapant du poète belgo-genevois que s'ouvre Le Bestiaire des écrivains, déjà publié chez Autrement dit. Ce succès et la réédition à L'Âge d'Homme de son recueil nous ont poussé à consacrer un livre audio entier à cette œuvre originale. L'humour le dispute à l'exigence ; l'assonance et l'allitération concourent à la musique des mots ; les images se font insolites.

Hath-little of Earth in it—

That years of love have been forgot

In the hatred of a minute:—

It should not be doubted that at least one-third of the affection with which we regard the elder poets of Great Britain should be-attributed to what is, in itself, a thing apart from poetry-we mean to the simple love of the antique-and that, again, a third of even the proper poetic sentiment inspiredby their writings should be ascribed to a fact which, while it has strict connection with poetry in the abstract, and with the old British poems themselves, should not be looked upon as a merit appertaining to the authors of the poems.

In summer 2010 Simon Armitage decided to walk the Pennine Way. The challenging 256 mile route is usually approached from south to north, from Edale in the Peak District to Kirk Yetholm, the other side of the Scottish border. He resolved to tackle it the other way round: through beautiful and bleak terrain, across lonely fells and into the howling wind, he would be walking home, towards the Yorkshire village where he was born.
