L’Automate aux Bleus Océans : An upcoming poetic project

Discovering L’Automate aux Bleus Océans

For several months, I’ve been deeply invested in a project that is very close to my heart: the creation of my first collection of contemporary poetry, titled L’Automate aux Bleus Océans. This collection, composed of 50 poems, is the result of sincere introspection and a dialogue with themes that touch me deeply: the loss of identity, toxic relationships, psychological and physical pain, and, most importantly, healing.

A personal and universal work

This project was born from my need to express what ordinary words cannot convey. Poetry, with its ability to transcend language, has allowed me to bring to light complex, sometimes silent experiences and emotions that shape our lives. Each poem in this collection tells a story, a fragment of reflection, or an echo of lived experience, in the hope of creating a connection with those who resonate with it.

The themes explored in L’Automate aux Bleus Océans are deeply personal to me, yet they also touch on universal questions. Who are we really ? What remains of us after hardship ? How do we redefine our identity when it seems erased or fragmented ?

A committed contemporary poetry

This collection is part of a resolutely contemporary approach, at the crossroads of the personal and the universal. The 50 poems that make up the collection oscillate between introspection and observation of the world, between fragility and strength. Some texts delve into relationships of control where the body and mind are lost, while others open up to light—the light of reconstruction and the quest for self.

My ambition with this collection is to provoke. I want to offer my readers a space where they can feel, reflect, and perhaps find a resonance with their own experiences. Poetry has the ability to make souls converse, to soothe as much as it questions.

A project in progress

Currently, L’Automate aux Bleus Océans is still in the process of creation. I am taking the time to sculpt each poem, carefully choosing each word so that it carries the weight of the emotions I wish to convey. This process is demanding, but incredibly liberating. This collection is a work in which I invest a great part of myself, and I hope it will touch those who discover it.

Why this project means so much to me

This collection represents much more than an artistic project. It is a way for me to transform my silences into a voice, to give meaning to the experiences I have gone through. Writing has taught me that we can rebuild parts of ourselves through words, and this collection is an attempt to share this process with the world.

An upcoming dialogue with my readers

What I hope above all is that L’Automate aux Bleus Océans becomes a space for dialogue. A space where everyone can find themselves, question, or simply feel. The poems in this collection are fragments of a universe I wish to share with you.

I am excited to reveal more in the coming months. In the meantime, stay connected to follow its evolution, discover excerpts, and learn more about the inspirations that have nourished this project.

Thank you for your curiosity and your support in this adventure that means so much to me !

Tonight, this body is mechanical,
And my senses are lethargic.
