Spring of poets 2026

For the Spring of Poets and World Poetry Day, escape for a few moments with a poem.

You can also read in your garden after visiting your public library or bookstore to extend this pleasant moment 🙂

Afterwards:

This afternoon, I read an article from the feminist revolutions journal *La Déferlante* to a young man. The article recounts the exile and oppression experienced by Bushra Alzoubi and how she returned to Syria to visit her sister, from whom she had lost contact. This article, along with photos, is in issue 21, page 26, February.

It was a wonderful day at the Ponteilla-Nyls library. I presented my new book, Esperança, exclusively. It exists in two versions, one in French and one in English. This play is set in a historical context. During the discussion, I outlined the steps I had taken, from inspiration to research and then to writing. A member of the audience read an excerpt for the 10th annual Nights of Reading. Esperança will be published very soon, and several copies have already been pre-ordered.

Creation of characters : the behavior

When creating characters, whether for a novel or a play, two notions are important: observation and empathy. It is possible to imagine the physique and character traits beforehand, however, observing reality allows you to create very realistic fictional characters. Where are they heading? what pushes them to act?

Likewise, asking yourself what the characters feel, making them act according to their values to maintain a certain logic, all of this is part of what we can call empathy for the characters we create. Personally, I have always really liked the characters in my stories and when I had to create “bad guys” it was never easy and I often write them a past that helps enlighten readers.
