The book "Cent mille miliards de poémes" (1960) is a completely ingenious and original work. Each page of the book contains a sonnet fragmented into fourteen lines, cut as if they were separate band-aids.

The total number of possible combinations contained in the book is 10 to 14, that is, one hundred billion different poems. The book has been praised by critics and readers alike, and has become a cult work, not only in France but also around the world.
