A harvest of literary prizes and the earthquake of January 12, 2010 allowed a wide audience to discover the vitality of Haitian literature. Writers like Dany Laferrière and Lyonel Trouillot joined Jacques Roumain, René Depestre, Frankétienne in the Pantheon of Creole identities, all masculine. But what about women? What place does their poetry occupy in Haiti? These are the questions we want to answer. Thirty-five voices from Haiti, the United States, Quebec and France conjugate poetry in the feminine... And in the plural, so diverse are their tones and sources of inspiration.

From Virginie Sampeur, born in the 19th century, to Kettly Mars, from Yanick Jean to Emmelie Prophète, from Ida Faubert to this young woman born the year the Duvalier regime ended, each of them opens the path to a new hope: one that allows, in the chaos that we know, to "draw exit doors".
