Adonis in the Pyrenees: another conversation in the mountains where a multiplicity of orients and occidents intermingle, where dialogue between Adonis, the major Arab-language poet at work today, and Pierre Joris, nomad poet between the United States, Europe, and North Africa, becomes polylogue, exchanging reflections that range from the destructive role all monotheisms play in history -- in relation to woman, but also to the power structures throughout cultures -- to questions of poetics and the possible role of the spiritual in contemporary poethics. These conversations -- under the general title Religion is an answer, poetry a question -- took place in June in the small village of Germ-Louron in the French Pyrenees in the context of Les Porteurs de Mots /The Word-Carriers, an annual cultural festival organized by Franck Morinière. These conversations were framed by a range of events, musical & theatrical performances, poetry readings and talks.
