L’écopoésie ou la nature en écho dans l’inspiration poétique de Charles Nokan

Abstract

This study is anchored by the notion of ecopoetry, which is part of the general issue of ecology. Seen less as a simple literary representation of nature, but as the art of experiencing its presence, this concept makes the poet an informed ecologist who works to defend nature in peril and raise human awareness of its protection. In this sense, the stylistic reading of L’Être, le désêtre et le non-être (2000) and Yah et Môni (2014) by Charles Nokan shows that poetic language is an echo of nature through the construction of an entire linguistic ecosystem. By mobilizing rhythm, image, allegory and anthropomorphization, the poet reveals that nature makes his senses vibrate. He also proposes an imaginary to reinvent this world.
