During his residency, the young Haitian poet wrote on a collection of poems entitled „Recovering the Horizons“.
“I consider my poetry as the most essential step in my quest for freedom, for myself, for the other and for the world. I start from this quotation of Eugène Guillevic to compose every single line of my poetry: `To make the poem a lever to change the world, is to be faithful to poetry.”
