Another salon 12b is taking place November 29. Door open at 7PM and the performances start at 8PM with the world premiere of Global Night Car. You can read it on the link. It will be read in three languages, in different voices, since nine different poets contributed to this experiment. In the break expect a good Goulash soup and something will be there for vegetarians as well. Desert will be by Rose: Condé rice with apricots...
After earthy food, the poets present will read their latest and thus unpublished work. Lucienne Stassaert will be kind enough to read the poems of three Breton poets one, Olivier Cousin, has received a major price. We always knew 'the project's poets' are fabulous.
Child on the jetty
A small peaceful fisherman port
at the edge of the moors
Two blue lobsterpot boats
cross the channel
to come and unload on the quay
their pots of illusions
and disillusions
There will be only one witness
His back to the jetty
a child scrutinizes the drift
the drift staring at the child
If he’d been sitting on the pier
we would have known more
Nobody can say
whether he shot up from the waves
or whether he is going to jump in
In suspense life awaits him
with its joys and troubles
like the sea spattered
with isles and reefs
The two blue lobsterpot boats
pass the last beacons
the child hasn’t moved
There are so many maps to invent
