Poems in a way are spells against death. They are milestones, to see where you were then from where you are now. To perpetuate your feelings, to establish them. If you have in any way touched the central heart of mankind's feelings, you'll survive.
I am a guest of the French language. My poems in French are born of my interaction with the French language, which is not the same as that of a French poet.
I always choose my projects for the script or what the director want to tell with that story. And if I like the story.
