Une lecture bilingue

Ten chairs in a circle, two languages, poems still being written.

Je lis en français, puis en anglais, and nobody has to pretend they caught every word. Ten chairs pulled into a circle.

How the evening goes

1.3 hours, 10 guests, in Verdun.

  1. Ten chairs, one lamp

    Circle up. Tea, a plate of biscuits, no stage.

  2. En français

    Jean-Sébastien reads new poems, still marked up in pencil.

  3. In English

    The same pieces, differently. You don't need both languages.

  4. Read yours

    Anyone who brought something gets the lamp for five minutes.
