Jean-Christophe Bailly, contemporary French poetry, senseAbstract
This essay presents some of Jean-Christophe Bailly’s work strength lines, with particular attention to what he wants to define as the essential condition of the poem – or of its enlargement. It is a matter of maintaining language as an area of receptivity, of contacts, of resonances, disseminating indexes of significance and making its management a movement of resistance to the drive to close under a name whatever calls us from the unknown, substantivating it. In short, it is a matter of unending unraveling, of reopening the world under language, of unbaptising it, of producing and dispersing legends from this operation. We will introduce the writer’s poetic thought by focusing especially on three conceptual images: comparutions, ricochets, dépaysements.
