Telescopes - Valérie Rouzeau

Description

In this multi-part poem, evoking the fragmentation of the meteorite it describes, the modern and free form contrasts with the antiquity of the observed object. A voice is raised to explain a scientific fact in a poetic way, and science and literature mingle with joy.
With her own style, Valérie Rouzeau plays with words as she plays with science. Pieces of meteorite become "diamonds" or "the necklace of an angry goddess". From Copernicus to Tintin, from Éluard to Rahan, the universes telescope to allow the reader to rediscover this Allende meteorite with new eyes.
