Four exhilarating & exhausting days are over. The March\u00e9 de la po\u00e9sie<\/strong> was exciting as every year \u2014 though a slight shadow seems to hang over it, i.e. economic politics (& conditions) may see it disappear, which would be a real shame. Was also sad that old friend Jacques Darras, whose last year as president of the March\u00e9 this was, couldn’t be there as he was ill (but is better now).<\/p>\n

Below a little gallery of pictures I took \u2014 not an activity I like or am any good at (two aspects that should usually\u00a0complement each other). There’s also a funny video of Serge Pey, Eric Sarner & me doing a \u00a0bullish\u00a0little two-step circulating on FB, as well as a good video of Nicole’s\u00a0performance whisking\u00a0cr\u00e8me chantilly & offering\u00a0communion to the audience in front of her publisher’s stand.<\/p>\n

Poet, film-maker, translator Eric Sarner expressing surprise after getting the “Prix A. Ribot” (which rhymes suspiciously with \u201cHaribo,\u201d the name of a well-known commercial sweet) a literary prize the name of which jokingly riffs\u00a0off the actually bestowed \u201cAristo(tle\u201d) prize.<\/p>\n

Grand old master publisher Jean-Michel Place (specialized in Surrealism, full editions of classical avant-garde magazines & beautiful avant-garde art books) \u00a0offering me cherries from his own garden in the South of France.<\/p>\n
