Abstract J.-M.G.Le Clézio is recognized by his ″poetic adventure.″ His creation concerns various genres: novel, essay, drama - everything inspires him. Even if Le Clézio writes few poems, he never fails to present a ″poetics″ in his works. The language and the images in Le Clézio's works make the readers think of a musicality and a lyricism, which certainly are related to the characteristics of the poems. This article investigates the poetic adventure of Le Clézio in his novel writing from the relationship between language and existence to the poetic expressions and generation, with his view of literature as life generation in a dynamic continuation. The poetic intent of Le Clézio occurs primarily by his search for the poetics of language. He always refuses the scholastic and rigid language and appreciates a natural and original language. Such a language comes from the beginning of the world. It is closely related to the human existence and it could lead the man to the center of the material. The poetics of Le Clézio's works also consists of a romance. He could acquire existent powers by discovering the beauty in tiny and daily things. He creates the marginal characters, who are tormented by the pain of life but never lose their hope for the future. Through the tension between reality and fiction, Le Clézio indeed shows his concerns for the social problems. It is in this sense that his works are engaged, in criticizing the vices of society and questioning on the human future, emphasizing the compassion of the man and the beauty of love. Le Clézio is constantly concerned with the harmony between man and nature. He thinks by the works on the human poetic habitat. Finally, the poetics of Le Clézio's works is seen by the pictoriality and the musicality. His creation is visual and also audible. The world is presented not only through the eyes of the characters, but also their ears, their hands, their tongues or noses, i. e. through their entire bodies. Therefore, the world created by Le Clézio becomes alive. On the one hand, the musicality is realized by a repetition of the words, phrases and images, which form the internal rhythm of the narration and accentuates the semantic field. On the other hand, it is realized by a circular structure: the beginning and the end of the story often are connected to form a circle. All this gives an energy to the works of Le Clézio. In a sense, the rhythm of the text approximates the human breathing and it corresponds to the internal and external situation where the characters are presented. From the first creations to the latest creations, the rhythm of the Le Clézio's story becomes slower, which is explained by a change in the writer's vision of the world. To conclude, Le Clézio's exploration of the primitive power of language and his being as a poet have endowed his works with deep humanistic concerns, as well as the uniqueness in his language. The romance in both his thoughts and texts, the adherence to his ideals, the eternal pursuit for his dreams, and his resonance with nature, all contribute to his poetic works, the originality of which can be found in his words and sentences together with their connections and rhythms, colors and musicality.
