 abstract={This article analyses the opening sections of two collections of poetry, “Basse enfance” (Anthologie personnelle [“Bass Childhood” (A Personal Anthology), Arles, Actes Sud, 1997) and “Orties” (Quelle est la nuit parmi les nuits) [“Nettles” (Where is the Night among the Nights)], Paris, Mercure de France, 2004) by a contemporary Lebanese writer and poet Vénus Khoury-Ghata. The distinctive feature of these poems, which plunge us into childhood memories, is the constant interweaving of the real and the marvellous. In Khoury-Ghata’s poetry, this otherness is based on the reconciliation of multiple temporalities (personal, collective, mythical) and on the presence of fundamental strangeness, worked through by the use of dreamlike images. This article begins by examining the intertwining of memory and everyday life through a stylistic analysis of the two sections. The second part unfolds a typology of everyday gestures at the intersection of several time periods. The paper concludes with a study of the motif of transgression and crossing, which repeatedly recurs in the author’s poetry. Everyday objects are transformed into zones of passage and transition from one world to another to the point of blurring the boundaries that distinguish them.},
