Weaving poems

The art of poetic weaving

Weaving is a Lyonnaise tradition that flourished and reached its peak in the 19th century. Moreover, the word text comes from the Latin textus, which means to weave. There is therefore a link between weaving and writing, simply by the fact that the movement of the shuttle in weaving machines went from left to right and then from right to left, as in the first forms of European writing. For example, ancient Greek was first written from right to left, then in both directions, and finally from left to right. This movement is called boustrophedon.

For me, it is therefore a question of weaving poems as one weaves a fabric, and of associating with them a gesture that is as much plastic as physical in the spirit of boustrophedon, like a puppeteer.

The weaving of a poem consists of defending a whole in the same way that a singular fabric is constructed from different silk threads, while respecting the sensitivity of each poet and their singular way of perceiving the world.
