This article proposes to read “Fêtes de la faim” as a poetic manifesto and as a report of various stages of its practice. Rather than seeing a confession of failure by the poet in real life, it is pertinent to say that the poem demonstrates a transformation of the active subject into a passive object, illustrating what the “Voyant” had envisaged (this confrontation with corporeal materiality is involved in an operation on language, which deals with its most material dimension ― sound).
