Rhythms, Voices and Poetic Movements in French-Speaking Switzerland

Collective work.

Romande poetry is described as “an experimental field,” still relatively underexplored, writes Peter Schnyder in his introduction to this volume. This is precisely its aim: to invite readers to discover the richness and vitality of a body of work which, through its forms, languages, and motifs, occupies a distinctive place within French-language literature.

The interviews gathered here bring together intimate reflections—on writing and its powers—with broader considerations on contemporary Swiss poetry. The voices of poets emerge in their singularity, opening up critical perspectives grounded in living poetry.
