L’architecture des vers : réflexions autour de quelques notes poétiques dans un carnet de Joan Margarit
Authors: Ortega Marta Noguera
Published: December 2024

Joan Margarit a souvent été considéré comme un architecte de la parole, du fait de sa double condition d’architecte et de poète. Ses carnets de brouillons et de de notes, déposés à la Bibliothèque nationale d’Espagne, témoignent de l’important travail de réécriture auquel il soumettait ses poèmes et sont ainsi révélateurs de son souci de la construction des vers. Le présent travail s’intéresse particulièrement aux premiers tâtonnements du vers, à l’écriture du premier jet, parfois très proche de l’expérience qui suscite la mise en mots, et s’interroge sur la place que prend le vers dans le commencement de l’écriture. Les supports de cette réflexion sont quelques poèmes inédits que le poète catalan a esquissés dans un de ses carnets lors des vacances de l’été 1993. Parfois, Margarit gribouillait de courtes notes, qu’il développait ensuite dans un brouillon rédactionnel ; d’autres fois, le premier jet prenait déjà, dans ses brouillons, une forme versifiée. L’analyse génétique de ces notes et brouillons inédits vise à montrer comment il cherchait, dès le départ, une structuration précise de la matière verbale dans laquelle la place du mètre doit être interrogée.Margarit, poésie catalane, génétique du vers, carnets, notes
