A Life in Language
This page gathers what the internet has not yet forgotten — the readings, the lectures, the interviews, the moments when Danielle Legros Georges stepped to the microphone and made language answer to memory. I have included here my own conversation with her as host of the Nèg Mawon podcast, because that exchange now feels less like content and more like communion — her voice deliberate, generous, precise, carrying the weight of history without ever surrendering to it. Danielle was not only a poet of the page but a steward of relationship. Each year she would send physical postcards — small, deliberate gestures in an age of frictionless messages — reminders that attention is a form of love.
That thoughtfulness was not incidental; it was of a piece with her art. She believed in presence. She practiced it. To assemble these recordings is not to confine her to a digital vault but to honor the way her words continue to move — across borders, across years, across us — insisting that poetry is not decoration but witness, not echo but living breath. If there are additional recordings, photographs, interviews, or traces of her work that live beyond what is gathered here, I invite you to share them, so that this space may continue to grow — not as a monument, but as a living constellation of her voice.
