Meeting Description:

>From the very first traces of written poetry, poets have been inspired by
their peers: whether with elegies, odes or allusions to the poets they
admired, they have always incorporated figures of poets and other poetic texts
in their own poems. Intertextuality abound from the classical texts
(quotations, sources and models) by earlier poets, for instance Ovid, Virgil
or Cato. Some of their contemporaries, like Tacitus, have questioned the
ideologies of their predecessors. Closer to us, Milton in his 16-line “On
Shakespeare” (1630) argues that no monument is a suitable tribute to
Shakespeare’s oeuvre; Thomas Gray pays himself homage to Milton in “Elegy
Written in a Country Churchyard” (1751). Not long ago, Amanda Gorman picked up
the torch and gave her own vision of the power of Poetry, for example in “In
the Place (An American Lyric)” (2015).

This panel shall be a place to question the representations of poets and
poetry in poetic works. What is at stake when the poet conjures up the figure
of the poet (or of a precise poet)? Is it a mere name-dropping, a simple
reference, a heartfelt tribute, a way to define oneself by referring to other
poets? When a poet broaches the topic of Poetry, is this a reflection on what
he or she is creating, on the impact of poetry, its place in the world?
Whether a matter of building one’s own poetic identity or welcoming the Other
within one’s poetic creation, representations of poet(s) and Poetry cannot but
draw our attention.
