Le vrai label de la poésie de Léon-Gontran Damas (1912-1978), connu comme le poète pionnier de la Négritude, est la voix résiliente qu'il sait extraire de son mot-marbre. Au terme du parcours poétique, ses racines guyanaises lui permettent de repousser une situation lourde de douleur et de mort pour bâtir un monde à l'envers où l'ancien dominant n'a plus de prise sur l'homme libéré.
This critical reading of Léon-Gontran Damas's five poem collections illustrates the resilient force of the poet's words. It includes a description of his posthumous and extremely rare book "Dernière escale". By recovering its Guyanese roots, this poetry is finally able to reject the painful situation of dominated people and to build a world upside down, where the former dominant has no more hold on the new free man.
