Four French-language poets have been brought together here: Maram Al-Masri from Syria, Tanella Boni from Ivory Coast, Gérald Bloncourt from Haiti and Edouard J. Maunick from Mauritius. Their texts speak to us of the extreme fragility of the human species, in the unspeakable time of those who have taken the path of exile.
