résumés:
Recent poetic works – Suzanne Doppelt's Le Pré est vénéneux, Sandra Moussempès' Colloque des télépathes, and Nathalie Quintane's Descente de mediums – adopt the theme of Spiritism to orient daring experiments between poetry and other art forms. Pushing beyond perennial literary questions of intuition or inspiration, practices associated with Spiritism inform new poetic objects uniting writing with photography, music or video. Using Spiritism to suggest the spectral presence of other media within poetry, these works engage with other artistic practices and creative disciplines to create innovative poetic forms.
