Photo-Poésie 2024
Partnership between the Mende Photo Club and the Mende Poetry Circle in 2024.
The idea
Suggest that poets take inspiration from photos taken by members of the photo club to write poems.
The work produced will be the subject of a joint exhibition in 2025 during poetry week
My participation
Personally I proposed around ten photos which seemed to me to correspond to the themes that the poets wanted to deal with.
4 of my photos were selected and the poems they inspired were read by their authors while they were screened on October 3, 2024 in front of a large audience.
I particularly appreciated the poem by Jérôme Greffard accompanying my photo of a window taken from a window in my house.

Par la fenêtre ( Through the window)
|
Par la fenêtre un chemin un tramail une maison carrée Nuit. Rideau. Par la fenêtre des promeneurs des voisins des chiens égarés Rideau. Nuit. Par la fenêtre de l’orge dans un vase une harpe une chaise colorée Nuit. Rideau. |
Par la fenêtre trois malles une bibliothèque un escalier Rideau. Nuit. Par la fenêtre ton visage ton sourire tes yeux éclairés Va-et-vient du bonheur jour après jour vie pleine Pas de rideau. Pas de nuit. |
Jérôme Greffard
These 3 photos also inspired other poems.
