This book was written and drawn by Cécile A. Holdban in the fall of 2021, during a literary and artistic residency at the Atelier du Bas Cros, in Ardèche.
This is the third title in the “ Écumes ” collection, the aim of which is to offer hybrid books based on texts and other forms of creation.
Alternating haikus, tercets and prose poems, the texts here engage in a subtle dialogue with the images – fragments of landscape crossed by birds –, to leave room for sensations and thoughts.


Cécile A. Holdban was born in 1974 in Stuttgart, Germany. French poet, painter and translator of Hungarian origin, she lives and works in Paris. A long-time bookseller, she now devotes herself to her creative work and collaborates with several publishing houses and magazines. She regularly publishes in the magazine Ce qui reste , translates the books she likes from Hungarian and English, runs various places and workshops around combinations of words or colors.
