From 1987, Luce Irigaray, who does yoga, has been writing a poem each day. This habit is probably the result of her acquaintance with Eastern traditions, where philosophy, art and prayer are not separate. A substantial preface explains the meaning of such a practice in the work of Luce Irigaray. There follows a choice of poems, all written in the same year. They show how the relations with nature or the lover - the main protagonists of these texts – change according to the time of the year, even without the writer’s knowing.
