goose without reason, in a struggle between the desire to record and that of erasure, mixes forgetting and memory, mourning and remembrance, lack and reminiscence, themes that have always marked the writer's work as much in his essays as in his more personal writings. Melancholy and humor mark the detachment necessary to compensate for the deepest pains. “This is the risk of joy: it dispossesses the subject of identity. It surpasses all reason, all explanation. It does not communicate, but can be contagious. The poem sometimes approaches joy without understanding. The voice in the words suddenly sees joy. It makes the body a voice.”
Belgium will celebrate the author's 80th birthday this autumn.
