iciHaiti - Poetry : The 2021 Apollinaire Discovery Prize awarded to «Jean d’Amérique» 17/11/2021 09:35:01 Reacting to this Prize, "Jean D’Amérique" declared on social media on Tuesday, "Very happy for my collection 'Atelier du silence' which has just received the 2021 Apollinaire Découverte Prize ! The opportunity to thank Cheyne Editor, who has believed in my work from the start." "This new collection of 'Jean D’Amérique' confirms the power and creativity of the writing of the young Haitian author. In his poems, a man raises his voice against institutions, against blocs and borders. His words shake up order, invoke the peoples and the martyrs of tyrannies. With rigor and without idealism, Jean D'Amérique once again affirms the power of poetry, which takes its strength," writes Cheyne Editor, quoting the author "if I had the floor / I would ask for a minute of silence / for my freedom pf muffled expression." Note that the collection "Atelier du silence" was selected for the 2022 Heather-Dohollau Prize, which rewards a book of French-speaking poetry.
