The 2025 theme: volcanic

Presentation text of the theme, from the site www.printempsdespoetes.com.

“Poetry. Volcanic is precisely the theme that we propose to explore with you throughout the spring. To talk about boiling volcanoes and molten rocks, of course. But, above all, pure creative energy, the eruption of the imagination, its lava flows, which change the word into a vision. To say that poetry, when it bursts forth to split the horizon and show the world differently, is effervescence, overflow and, above all, the force of life. To say finally that the poetic eruption knows no limits. Think of all those verses that have, reading after reading, deposited themselves in you, one layer after another, like strata of lava, think of the persistence of the vision they contain. It will burst forth immediately. Since poetry is like that. Volcanic.
