Grosjean, Jaccottet, Leiris, Levet, Norge, Oster,
Ponge, Pozzi, Thomas…) and "Jeune poésie". |

A SHORT HISTORY
"Poésie/Gallimard"
was the first French imprint for mass distribution
devoted exclusively to poetry. The first
three volumes appeared in March 1966. The
Warhol inspired artwork for the cover was
designed by Massin, later modified at the
beginning of the 1990s. Editor Robert Carlier
and poet Alain Jouffroy share directorship
at first. Up until 1971 only titles by twentieth
century authors are published: Saint-John
Perse, Ponge, Char… Some authors participate
in the composing of the volume. In 1970
for Le Mouvement perpétuel
Aragon gives ten new pages of automatic
writing while Aimé Césaire
radically re-works his text Armes miraculeuses.
With the publication of collected poems
by Yves Bonnefoy, Jean Grosjean, Guillevic,
Philippe Jaccottet and Georges Schehadé
(…) "Poésie/Gallimard"
broadens the audience for contemporary authors
by reaching new readers missed by first
editions and reviews. A critical framework
is provided as for instance Jean Starobinski's
1971 introduction to Poésies
written by fellow Swiss Philippe Jaccottet.
Publication of authors from
earlier centuries began in 1971. The format
and paper of the new imprint "Folio"
were also chosen for "Poésie/Gallimard".
Art critic André Fermigier became
director and added to the list many contemporary
authors.
Between 1966 and 1999 the imprint
has published an average of three titles
by foreign authors every year. The trend
became stronger from the end of the 1980s
onwards, especially under the directorship
of German specialist and philosopher Marc
de Launay.
André Velter expanded
cross-disciplinary approaches: formal (sonnet,
haiku), linguistic (contemporary poetry
anthologies in Yiddish, Greek, or Czech)
and generational (Les Poètes du
Chat noir ; Les Poètes du Grand
Jeu ; Poèmes à dire.
Une anthologie de poésie contemporaine
francophone).
