Listen, Al! (Giraudon, Touam, André)

Abstract
In this paper, I argue that recent poetry collections by Liliane Giraudon, Andréa-Fatima Touam, and Amandine André remobilize the concept of the poetic dispositif, first theorized by Francis Ponge in relation to Lautréamont, as a response to ongoing public concerns about the gender/ed confinements and the confinement of gender in the French poetic institution.
