Poets: Poule des Doods

Since 2002, F Starik manages the Poule des Doods: poets guide lonely deceased with a poem, written especially for them , on their last journey : to the grave. Starik wrote a report on each funeral, in which about twenty poets of duty have collaborated. Right now there are about one hundred reports of constantly the same happening: three musical pieces, a poem, the tour to the grave, lowering the coffin, the moment of silence and the cup of coffee afterwards. In a lecture of  a bit more than thirty minutes, Starik tells about ‘the lonely funeral’: the phenomenon,  what it is, why it’s there and how it’s done. Doing this, he is not afraid to tell a poignant, sometimes hilarious anecdote.
