MebLouis Hémon1 editions

Aria de laine is a series of poems by subtraction (Blackout Poetry) cut out in the novel Maria Chapdelaine by Louis Hémon (now in the public domain). For six months, she cut one fragment per page, to the end of the book. She then assembled them to form twenty poems, which describe an enigmatic, somewhat surreal world where trees speak and men melt near the stove. In her poems Meb frequently addresses the banal, the everyday and the interior. She prefers short forms that often obey visual or formal constraints, hidden or revealed, in which the container generates the content (symbolic metric, acrostic, mesostic, blackout poetry). She likes to use simple words in unexpected combinations, absurd or even surrealistic.
