Flight of the locust and leap of the shrimp Ponge and Saint-John Perse, together in the turbulence of the animal world

This article aims to show how the poetics of Ponge and Saint-John Perse pay particular attention to animal dynamics, to better examine the organic reality of living beings. Although seemingly fundamentally opposed, their respective poetics tend not to fit easily into Western categories and their rigid classifications, and could therefore be brought together where humans and animals intersect.
