We are four poets, but also four ways of listening to the world before it has a name. We do not start from a closed definition of poetry, but from its tremor: that instant when language slips and begins to say things differently. We write from there, from the crack, from the breath that does not quite fit into common syntax. Poetry not as ornament, but as a form of perception, of detour, of insistence.
For us, spreading poetry is not just circulating it, but opening space for it: creating situations where the word can happen without hurry, without immediate use, without forced translation. We are interested in poetry as an experience — oral, written, shared — as a rhythm that crosses bodies, as a thought that refuses to be fully fixed.
We work with texts, yes, but also with silences, with cuts, with the breathing of the one who reads and the one who listens. We move between tradition and its rupture, between what is inherited and what does not yet have a shape. We publish, we read, we intervene, but above all we insist that poetry remain a place of risk.
We are not looking for a single voice, but a field of resonances.
We believe poetry does not explain: it displaces. It does not resolve: it opens. And in that opening — unstable, fertile, sometimes uncomfortable — is where we want to be.
