Abstract
This study explores the figure of repetition as drama and seriality in some of Denise Desautels' works. Initially, the figure relies on the experience of death as a first fracture in time. Recurring in the writer's memory, th e disappearance of the father-a premonition of every other death-compels a shift towards the poem as the universe of what is repeatable.
