Poetry is a solitary adventure, but it is possible to share it: the Internet is one way that can be opened to the world. Last Saturday, a poet and blogger, Marc Laumonier did a brief stint in the show Nauleau Sophie, "it rhymes with what?". This love of poetry is a blog where he brings both his own texts and those other. His work is of great generosity, he even claims that "others" are more interesting than him. This modesty and the patient work away from publishers must be rewarded, "frenchpeterpan" (the name of the blog) contains beautiful lyrics that are worth reading, poetry notes a very high accuracy. Marc Laumonier publishes appetizer snow , a collection that brings together the texts published on his blog. Share his writings on a blog does allow readers to multiply, but as the author puts it himself, does not provide the poem. The paper can donate what is produced. This adventure illustrates perfectly one of the major problems of poetry today, that of diffusion. Should we try to get published? Should he deliver his lyrics with multiple routes to the canvas? Creative work alone and can make it available to all Sir internet: the paradox questions anyway. Marc Laumonier claims not be a great poet in his wording, he puts the word "poems" in quotation marks. These are many poems without quotes he gives us yet to read. Build a readership on the Internet is not an easy thing, he was able to do and that is a great merit. Small publishers can not afford to publish. And among the big publishers, poetry is not the master: it is impossible to ask an author to produce a work every two or three years. Writing is an experience with its own temporality, its own space. Wandering or whirling, hard work or a state of grace, whatever, the mechanisms of the circuits of consumption is open to artists. Writing poetry becomes a real lifestyle choice, an adventure even more lonely. We must find ways to give to see and hear through other means. The Internet is a useful path, a thoroughfare wonderful. In recent years, the poetry also flows through this one (I will soon facebook and I like poetry reviews). But it would be unfortunate if the book does not take over all these beautiful poetic initiatives on the web. A word ...
