Jean-Paul Michel's 'Bonté seconde' Explored in New Publication

Éditions Joseph K. has published 'Jean-Paul Michel Bonté seconde', a comprehensive volume that delves into the poet's work through a documentary lens. The book includes an iconographic section, in-depth interviews by Tristan Hordé, contributions from Inigo de Satrustegui, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jude Stéfan, as well as critical reviews spanning nearly thirty years, private letters, and various emblems. Michel's fresh texts challenge his own archaeological project, with unpublished fragments pointing toward a future of salutary uncertainty. The volume assembles a precarious community of scholars and writers, offering a glimpse into contemporary poetic collapse alongside a Dante-like figure who insists on renewing language, wisdom, and politics. Hugo Lacroix reviews the work.
