Writing, painting, music, but also sculpture, cooking, knitting, and many other arts— this is what our association aims to promote and bring together. A poem by Martin Decreuze expresses it thus:

le sang des mots
(the blood of words)
le sens des mots
(the meaning of words)
le vagabondage des mots
(the wandering of words)
la débandade des mots
(the rout of words)
la sarabande des mots
(the saraband of words)
le tricotage des mots
(the knitting of words)
le colportage des mots
(the peddling of words)
le déminage des mots
(the demining of words)
l’évanescence des mots
(the evanescence of words)
la jouissance des mots
(the pleasure of words)
et de tous ceux qui tissent des romans, de la poésie….
et nous emportent dans leur sillage
(and of all those who weave novels, poetry… and carry us away in their wake)
