The French poet and philosopher Geneviève Clancy (1937-2005) does not distinguish her writings (radical in terms of both sense and style) from political action against all forms of oppression and exclusion.

It depicts a network of people united in their refusal to accept the compromises required in our times, who reveal with their work the possibility of another reality
