second volet de la trilogie Catalogues affectueux. L'ensemble se veut une réflexion à la fois théorique et lyrique sur l'inscription de la parole poétique dans ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler très légèrement la biographie. Et cela aurait aussi pu être cyniquement intitule. Tentative d'autobiographie poétique non-autorisée... Ou alors, plus sérieusement. Pour une théorie générale de la mélancolie. Car le poème parlant est porteur de cette mélancolie sans doute seule susceptible de réconcilier notre prétentieuse volonté de contrôle sur nos matériaux et notre si difficile acceptation de ce qui nécessairement nous échappera - mieux : doit nous échapper en cours d'écriture. 2016.
