Author's biography
Christine Chantereau is 54 years old. A former vocational guidance counsellor, she manages to hide her visual impairment until she suffers a liberating burn-out that puts an end to her denial.
This sudden realisation led her to change her life and her region. She chose Saint-Malo, where she found peace of mind alongside Opium, her new inseparable friend: a Labrador guide dog.
The sea spray, the sound of the waves and the colours she still perceives enrich her creativity every day. Her pen gets carried away with her daily walks.
So it was that this lover of languages, cultures, music and nature became an author.
Synopsis
With "Témoignages poétiques", Christine Chantereau invents a new language to express the "adventure of seeing differently", the visual pathology she suffers from. She creates unusual images and surprising comparisons to help the reader understand how her eyes have become a "built-in camera in permanent adjustment". Flou subjectif (the first part of the collection) accentuates the reality of this visual everydayness by borrowing from the precise vocabulary of photography, while Les poèmes (the second part) offers an aesthetic with soft, obviously surreal tones.
The book can be ordered from bookshops throughout France, Geneva and Brussels.
