This article deals with contemporary poetic experiments, particularly by Emmanuel Hocquard and Michel Espitallier, in order to show how space is used as support but also as a medium. For both authors, space plays an essential role in the creation of forms and shapes. The poetic process plays not only with the link between things and words but also mobilizes different models of spatial exploration — in geographical and geometrical terms. The work of transposition and interpretation they require echoes the fact that poetry transforms scriptural space into a means to reflect on language, traces, and writing as such.
