All boundaries between the writing of Pierre Joris and that of Al- Hallaj are abolished with a view to an alliance that is renewed but not in view of an approach that would refuse the freedom of reading and writing. I call it an \u201calliance,\u201d because there is a divide, a rupture in each alliance. The duration of the alliance is, precisely, conditioned by how long the divides and ruptures last. … Through an extreme economy of words and through the elliptical construction of his verse, Joris joins Al-Hallaj. His poem is a flash of lightning. It is also an art sought out in a vision that crosses time and space to give meaning to a nomad poetics renewing its territory. The poem dares to live face-to-face with the impossible in speaking and writing. Thus does Joris turn Al-Hallaj\u2019s words into his own words, and even sees him as an example returning in a different epoch in another language.<\/p>\n

Well-versed and well-read in Sufi mysticism, Joris appears throughout these captivating Meditations<\/i> as a nomadizing poet-scholar \u2013 a poeta doctus <\/i>in the classical sense: whether it is the manners, or pockets of the desert, Baghdad bombings, or Hallaj\u2019s set of stations that caught his eye (a poeta vates<\/i>?) and fired up the engine of his writing, Joris \u2013 poeta faber<\/i> \u2013 also always guides us back to the material flux<\/i> of language that constitutes these Meditations<\/i>. Start with the staggering soundscapes of these poems, indeed, begin the beguine<\/i>!<\/p>\n
