Reading by Albert Anor<\/p>\n
I was born in Barcelona in 1955 (Sagittarius) and am a deliberate poetry dilettante. I taught visual arts in Geneva for four decades. Married with two grown-up children… I started writing poetry after devouring Antonin Artaud’s work at the age of 17. I share with the Surrealists the precept written by Andr\u00e9 Breton: ” Transform the world, said Marx. Change life, said Rimbaud. For us, these two watchwords are one and the same. <\/em> “<\/strong>But I don’t recognize any ancestors when it comes to revolt. In my texts, I strive to deconstruct preconceptions in an attempt to create new images, or to disguise them to such an extent that they seem to give rise to a language that is paradoxical in that it is “new” and yet specific to us all, since it comes close to our weak inner selves. <\/p>\n The aim of this Ap\u00e9ro-po\u00e9tique program is to present a limited selection of poems written over a period spanning almost fifty years. It is impossible to retrace the full extent of the texts written here, as it is the nature of an “anthology” to make more or less arbitrary choices, always subjective and subject to regret. <\/p>\n While being burns on the other side of thought, on the other side of words and silences.<\/em><\/p>\n To risk making known a sensitive opposition to an already too nauseating zeitgeist. Another epic way of remembering myself for others. <\/p>\n To date, I have published five collections of poetry(Pi\u00e8ges \u00e0 convictions<\/em> 2001; Le Chaos en devenir<\/em> 2002; \u00c9clats d’usure<\/em> 2009; Pas press\u00e9 <\/em>2015; Ouvert pour inventaire <\/em>2018).<\/p>\n I have also initiated and co-created collective works: Le Poisson fum\u00e9e montre son nez<\/em>, Cercle des Parfumeurs, Geneva 2006; Limites hors-limites<\/em>, Bo\u00eete po\u00e9tique, 2019-2022, donated to the Biblioth\u00e8que d’Art et d’Arch\u00e9ologie de Gen\u00e8ve (May 25, 2022); Heureusement que l’on va vers l’\u00e9t\u00e9<\/em>, experimental text in collaboration with 24 other creators (2022-25).<\/p>\n In progress: Fragments du labyrinthe<\/em> no.1<\/em> and Sourire salle d’attente<\/em>.<\/p>\n Other cultural achievements: participation in the organization of Po\u00e9sie en ville in September 2024, organization of a disrespectful commemoration of the 100th<\/sup> anniversary of Surrealism (October 3-27, 2024), readings at Printemps de la po\u00e9sie since 2020 with Po\u00e8tes de la Cit\u00e9 and co-organization of Ap\u00e9ros po\u00e9tiques at Bains de P\u00e2quis since 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reading by Albert Anor I was born in Barcelona in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7829,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[89],"class_list":["post-7831","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-poesie-en","cat_poesie-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/7831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/7831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7831"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aubp.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=7831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
