Abstract
In Mémorial poétique, Lubomir Guentchev, a French-speaking Bulgarian author, states that “poetry [...] has experienced much more pain than joy” (our translation). Pain could be said to be the main source of his inspiration. This collection has as dedication "In memory of V.", Valentina Dimitrova Guitcheva, a young woman with whom he was allegedly deeply in love and who had disappeared in 1946. This grief was overwhelming. In 1975, at the end of Mémorial poétique, Eucharistia, a prose poem, recalls the memory. A bond of sacred communion existed between Valentina's memory and the author's "inner self". He was convinced of that. He transposes this suffering into Mémorial poétique, turning it into art. How does he do that? How does he transform this pain? What literary models is he inspired by? What aesthetic research does he also engage in?
