Poésie au présent collection, ISSN 2825-418X. Director: Philippe Bouret Philippe Bouret is a psychoanalyst in Brive-la-Gaillarde and the author of around twenty works (essays and poetry). He is a member of the SGDL (Société des Gens De Lettres). He is particularly interested in the links between psychoanalysis and art. His work in the Freudian field led him to study courtly poetry in pre-Islamic and Arab-Andalusian cultures with regard to the teaching of Jacques Lacan, the work of Sigmund Freud and the teaching of Jacques-Alain Miller. He studied Arabic language and calligraphy. For many years, he has been articulating, based on his experience of encounters with artists, what he calls "expanding psychoanalysis" and thus defines what he considers to be the position of the psychoanalyst in the city in the 21st century: "Artists take existence seriously. They explore the disquiet, the enigma and sometimes the joy of the paths of creation, allow themselves to be surprised by the words, the colors, the sounds that impose themselves on them and use misunderstanding as a mark of the speaking being." "For the psychoanalyst who goes towards the artist, the one-on-one encounter calls out and expands desire. It directs engagement and sometimes reveals nuggets. We call this knowledge.

You will find in this book an echo of your own feelings and experiences, a few notes of lightness, a hint of poetic references, a lot of authenticity and innocence. This collection is constructed like an initiatory journey, at once personal, philosophical and universal. Through different types of poetic narratives (free verse, fixed forms, dream narratives, automatic writings) the author reveals an essential part of his intimacy that led him to question his life. The majority of these poems, like the photographic self-portraits that dot them, speak of love and despair. Means of survival as much as of externalization, they allowed a metamorphosis of their author. A total ordeal, long and necessary for hope and rebirth. Let the words carry you to the heart of your emotions. >> Order
