" ...for Cixous, writing from the imaginary implies the invention of “other I’s,” the poet is more open to otherness. She follows the post-revolutionary myth of the artist as subversive and effeminate. Poetry, like other arts, questions and transforms ideology. … This is not to say that to create, one must be homosexual, but that there is no invention without other I’s, no poetry, no fiction without that of a certain homosexuality, therefore of bisexuality.

" The poetic is that which in every discourse can open up to the absolute loss of meaning, to the bottomlessness of the sacred, of nonmeaning, of play, to the loss of consciousness from which it awakens with a throw of the dice. Not an absence of meaning, which would one again subordinate poetry to discourse, but a nonmeaning in meaning, an affirmation of sovereignty. The temporal mode of this writing is the instant, not the point of full presence, the instant that slides and eludes between two presences, difference as elusive affirmation of presence. "
