We consider compact Kählerian manifolds X of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic holomorphic Poisson structure Π which is sufficiently general, in a precise linear sense, with respect to its (normal-crossing) degeneracy divisor D(Π). We prove that (X, Π) has unobsrtuced deformations, that the tangent space to its deformation space can be identified in terms of the mixed Hodge structure on H 2 of the open symplectic manifold X \ D(Π), and in fact coincides with this H 2 provided the Hodge number h 2,0 X = 0, and finally that the degeneracy locus D(Π) deforms locally trivially under deformations of (X, Π).
