\nCurating<\/em>: <\/strong>Nathalie Guiot & Barbara Polla<\/p>\n

November<\/strong> is the passage, the transformation, it comes after an Indian summer, after the last harvest; it is the very end of the afternoon, before winter’s night; it is the planned decay of foliage that flies away in a dreaming of rebirth<\/strong>, distant but tenacious. November… the word itself contains its own mystery, November counts words and days, the vulnerable force of creation<\/strong>, November, as …<\/p>\n

“A weight<\/em>
\nAn anvil<\/em>
\nAn anxiety<\/em>
\nA threat<\/em>
\nA sense of nothing that doesn’t go away…<\/em> ”<\/p>\n

Reading more. Writing. One should write with as many\u00a0words as possible, in all languages: the multiplication of words, their profusion, their transformations protect us from thinning.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, writing and reading,<\/div>\n
out loud<\/div>\n
poetry<\/div>\n
\n

Resisting<\/strong>. Writing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Strange practice that writing, which definitely escapes from\u00a0reasonable reason: a wide effort for a little glory – but for so much fire, for so many flames, which carry us again and again, one to another. The magic of poetry, from solstices to equinoxes, gathers a community of poets: The Appeared Poets Society<\/em><\/strong>. The fragility<\/strong> in each one of us becomes the strength of all of us.<\/div>\n
