To celebrate the month of the Francophonie, the Association Victor Hugo is organizing a meeting with the poet and anthropologist Habib Tengour.
A frequent guest in Luxembourg, soon in residence at the Centre national de littérature, Habib Tengour is a poet whose vast and diverse body of work (over 40 books: poems, poetic prose, essays, theater...) questions the relationship between language and identity, aiming to "restore reality through literature, and more precisely poetry" (Hervé Sanson).
Translated into many languages, he himself translates poets from English, German, or Arabic into French and directs the "Poèmes du Monde" collection at APIC. He has received several awards, including the Prix Dante (2016) for his career and the International Benjamin Fondane Prize (2022).
This encounter follows a symposium dedicated to him in Cerisy, Normandy (August 2025). Hervé Sanson, a specialist in French-language Maghreb literature, will present the main discussion points.
