The article is an attempt to analyze Blason du corps féminin by French-language spatial poet Ilse Garnier. It reflects on the logo-visual strategy of Garnier’s feminist recovery of blason, a literary genre popular in the 16th century France. Then, using the theories of Tim Ingold and Wassily Kandinsky, it examines the relationship between plane, line and letter and their functions in the story of the female body. The relationship between line shape and affect is also discussed, as well as the rhythmicity of Garnier’s works in relation to the theories and works of Władysław Strzemiński and Katarzyna Kobro. The choreographic potential of the work is also outlined, with reference to the records of dance choreographers. Finally, the poet’s drawing-and-writing process is traced: drawing with a compass, the choreography of gestures (considerations have been based mainly on texts by Tim Ingold and André Leroi-Gourhan), kinetic energy, the role of the typewriter important for Garnier, and the associated tension between the subject’s gesture
and her absence.
