Georges Mogin dit NORGE (1898-1991). 3 L.A.S. and a poem a.s., Saint-Paul de Vence 1971-1973, to Jean-Paul Cathala; approx. 6pages in-4 and an oblong card in-12, 3 envelopes, one decorated, mostly in blue and red felt-tip pens. 25-1-71. "Oh! especially no "master" [...]. When someone tells you that, you have to strive to become one. And I don't feel like one. He loved the Badabuk show, but was "stunned" by the Avant-Quart magazine: "I doubt very much that children will be sensitive to this ensemble"... 16-III-72. He would like to have La Belle Endormie and Le Sourire d'Icare republished, but has a contract with Flammarion. On the other hand, he thinks he will be able to release Joie aux Âmes, "the first part of a sort of diptych, the second part of which would be Le Vin profond. This work should appear on its own - I'm opposed to compact publications for poetry. [...] Don't get involved in financially disastrous ventures: Can poetry sell itself?"... March 25, 72. On the Joie aux Âmes project: "It would be advisable to create an airy book... the breathing of the verse" and choose a fairly large type size... The envelope is richly decorated with colored markers. [2-2-1973]. Amusing quatrain: "If I had to lay an egg / Full of my wishes for the new year / Let's say it without fanfreluche, / It would be an ostrich egg!" Attached is the calligraphic design for the cover of Joie aux Âmes, published by Avant-Quart.
