What critics have said about

Jean-Pierre Vallotton's poetry:

"With neither complaint nor joy – uncompromising words."

(Constuire)

"A perfect and elegant writing that softly sings about love."

(Arpa)

"His poetry book traces a need for deep communion, for

transcendental essence, the light of which is a symbol closest

to the absolute."

(Rétro-Viseur)

"Profusion and sobriety converge in this pursuit of a learned

language of poetry."

(Le Courrier de l ’Escaut)

"Here is poetry, vibrantly so. the divine breathe of

inspiration transcends anguish, and opens to new life."

(Lettres et Cultures de Langue Française)

"Poetry opening to all horizons, to duration, and essentially

to what is presence."

(Le Journal des Poètes)

"More than the macroscopic of the surreal, Jean-Pierre Vallotton explores

the microscopic of hyperreality. In fact, if there is one single element in

this complex poetry that stands out, it is precisely the absence of

anything obvious. Yet his idiosyncratic poetic structure never disrupts its

symbolic density. Behind the irregularity of forms, there is recurrence,

tempo, permanency of pursuit. Where other poets of his generation

developed strategies of deconstruction, Vallotton invented a brave new

mosaic with the parameters left behind by traditionalism, modernism

and postmodernism. If William Wordsworth, Oscar Wilde, T.S. Eliot

are considered decadent, then so is Jean-Pierre Vallotton a decadent,

however, the sort of decadent that will be viewed as being great in years

to come: the space between us is a path of magnificence, and here the

faintest of our footsteps draws forth a flower. His neo-baroque poetry

stands at the crossroads of whatever styles, forms, and contents

led to this spot; and it is with the pernicious artefacts found here that

Jean-Pierre Vallotton invents the unknown structures that will welcome

the birds of paradise of tomorrow." (Antonio D’Alfonso, in Wings Folded in Cracks)
