  • Abstract: As he walks or drives along the roads of French provinces, Jacques Réda searches for the “griserie du déplacement continu”, a metaphorical way to attain the actual ecstasy of the Romantics or Surrealists. Strolling becomes a medium for a mobile meditation and leads to bright and lyrical raptures. It also shows the way to an hereafter that the poet can never reach. It gathers a geographical and poetical personnal form of art, that recalls the “dérèglement de tous les sens” which caracterized the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud.
