Poeasy Thomas Clerc
Listen to the lecture on France Culture Plus : launch of Thomas Clerc’s book : Poeasy, with Manou Farine, art critic and journalist.
Having explored Le dixième arrondissement of Paris where he lives, and his apartment in Intérieur, Thomas Clerc felt he needed to open the windows. Poeasy is a breath of fresh air leading to other literary spaces, taking the form of free verse and proliferation. Organised by alphabetical order, the 751 poems of Poeasy offer as many genres – lyrical, political, narrative, autobiographical, etc. – as facets of the author who shows himself here as a sort of variety artist. On the surface, light poetry in which we find the obsessions of a man who always throws in his stakes, who never writes the same book again.
With Manou Farine, art critic and journalist.
Thomas Clerc was born in 1965. In the collection L’Arbalète, he has already published, Paris, musée du XXIe siècle, Le dixième arrondissement, L’homme qui tua Roland Barthes et autres nouvelles, and Intérieur, are also available from Folio.
