FR – Jean-Baptiste Cabaud

Je suis orphelin depuis si longtemps
Et je me tiens, moi, seul
Seul contre ces mots qui pleuvent, moi
Debout devant la lumière triste
D’un crépuscule sans magie

Triste, triste à en mourir

Mon regard infatigable cherche et glisse pourtant
         — J’ai encore la faim du monde en moi —
Sans cesse caresse, physique, l’étendue du continent pourtant
Connaît, mon regard, mieux que les mots que j’entends
L’avenir que l’on devrait

Mais je ne vois monter du coeur commun
Que, biologique, l’inquiétude, depuis toujours
Des hommes face à la nuit qui vient—
La tentation de la caverne et celle du consolateur

Et je sais, moi, que là et ici et là, les feux allumés isolés petits
N’éclaireront pas l’obscurité, n’amèneront pas le jour suivant plus vite
Ne seront, ces foyers, que points rouges piqués sur une carte
Géopolitiques, ne rassurant de rien

Je me sens, moi, Nous et Nous j’irai
Debout pour traverser la nuit

Yannis Stiggas (born 1977 in Athens, Greece) has published three collections of verse and his poems have also appeared in many magazines and anthologies. In 2007 he performed in the intothepill project in the Karaoke Poetry Bar in Athens. His poems impress with the power of their imagery and language. By opposing the internal and the external view, and abstract and sensual observations, his texts hover on the margins of perception.

He is primarily interested in experimental poetry, naming his main influences as Flarf poetry and the Oulipo group, whose aim is to extend language via formal restraints. In the past few years Harry Salmenniemi has also been working as the editor of Finland’s biggest poetry magazine, Tuli & Savu and working on various creative projects with artists, musicians and circus artistes. Having lived for long periods in Rome and Melbourne, he has developed an aversion to the Finnish winter and hopes to be able to return to Italy soon.

In 1997 his first collection Tiché vojny (Silent Wars) won him the Slovak Literary Fund Award. Solotruk is the poet of everyday things, of the conventional and unassuming. It is precisely in the microstructures that inaccessible truths are reflected that are hard to grasp. He has a doctorate in translation studies, and previously worked in advertising and television. He now teaches at the University of Bratislava. He translates poetry and plays by Samuel Beckett, Charles Simic, John Ashbery and Ted Hughes. For his translation of Ted Hughes’ Crow he won the 2007 prize for the best artistic translation.
