Work Poetry Voice and images In her books, Gauthier places a particular importance on the place of the voice that allows her to maintain a tension between a poetry without a subject and an embodied poetry. In kaspar de pierre, "any individuality effaces itself, writing I gives way to the blank page. The author decenters kaspar's voice bringing it closer to our own and within our hearing in order to create a space where living communally, living together, are part of the very act of speaking ..." (T. U. Comte, La Nouvelle Quinzaine littéraire). Her work on the poetic voice is accompanied by a renewal of poetic imagery whereby the poetic images can be considered a kind of emergence, a meeting point between sensation and idea, or as Johan Faerber terms it, "the image-idea" in Diakritik speaking of je neige (entre les mots de villon). The question of the status of poetic imagery is also anchored in a reconsideration and a renewal of poetic ekphrasis. Gauthier's work is marked by a polyphonic lyricism ; her poetry is neither strictly objective nor entirely focused on the self, but is marked by a fragmented incarnation, a multi-layered chorus that marks a space of vigilance. If her work is lyric, it's a transubjective lyric, allowing for the creation of a considered gap between voices in je neige (entre les mots de villon) when they intertwine "three voices, maybe four, that of François Villon, his others". Prose and poetry In Le Monde Didier Cahen characterizes Gauthier's work as that of "materialized sound" where "different tempos fuse together in the same beat, electrifying the senses". In general,
