Claude Minière's 'Pall mall' Journal Chronicles Poetic Process
In 'Pall mall. Journal 2000-2003', Claude Minière unveils the intricate processes behind poetic creation over a span of three years, reflecting on influences from Hölderlin, Heidegger, and Pound, while documenting the development of 'Hymne'. The work delves into exiting metaphysics, rekindling enchantment in the world, and addressing a longing for a childhood that can be revisited at will. Minière expresses his admiration for beauty, proclaiming, 'I welcome... the perfumed violence of this morning.' The journal acts as a manifesto for the limitless expansion of breath and voice, navigating the balance between existence and communication. 'Pall mall' represents a series of clearings and presence.
