"Ces pages, lues à deux voix, sont tirées de 'Textes pour un poème' (1949-1970) et de 'Poèmes pour un texte' (1970-1991). Les deux livres présentent un choix, à travers quarante années de poésie. Les titres qui s'inversent voudraient refléter - comme dans un miroir - la même image, suggérer une même démarche. [...] Les guets-apens de l'événement et du temps, qui tentent d'enserrer chacun entre les parois de l'âge, des frontières, du milieu social devraient être très vite balayés par les souffles de la poésie."
