Each poet is asked to write a poem of 5 to10 verses using words taken from a prose text of any kind only published since 1st January 2000. The original text must hold on a single or a double page of review, journal, book, magazine or other publication.

The poem will use only words or parts of words coming from the original, respecting their order of appearance, and avoiding to borrow too many words in succession. The reference text (or a good-quality photocopy), with precise details of its origin, must be sent to the Festival along with the poem itself.

The poems will be published in La Traductiere Nr 25 (May 2007) or in another review participating in the project, while the reference texts will be presented on the Internet.

Final date for entries : reported to 31st January 2007, for poems submitted to the Franco-anglais Poetry Festival and to La Traductiere. - Other reviews: dates to be defined by them.
