Abstract

Throughout Philippe Soupault’s poetic works, his preference towards song writing has been unveiled and a series of poems without music have been compiled in different anthologies that the author himself distinguishes from other poetic creations. This writer, contrary to any literary tradition, does not intend through the use of the term song, to label his works according to a specific textual typology. On the contrary, it is by means of it that he acknowledges a means of production that distinguishes itself from the kind of automatism displayed, among others, in Les Champs magnétiques, co-authored by André Breton. His songs stem from a voice that goes beyond the writer himself and even surpasses him, echoing in his mind, once transformed, proverbs, songs, expressions and images from childhood.
