about

Part of the Soundscape Poetry Project Album.

CHÂTEAU NÉANT might be a place or it might be a rare vintage of French wine. I can’t remember writing the poem, although it belongs with a few of the other ‘Void Studies’ at a time when I was fascinated by a particular person who told me about a particular kind of honey made in Ikaria, said to prolong life. The idea of the néant has a long history and should be taken not as denoting emptiness or nihilism, but as relating to the idea of the ‘abyss’ in Cabalistic thought – a place to cross over, from suffering to redemption, for example, or from anxiety to liberation from fear.
