Par Kay S Hymowitz. 2017
Children seem to be growing up more quickly than ever before. Almost daily we hear astonishing examples of young people…
flying airplanes, running companies, or committing adult crimes. In this shrewd and compelling book, scholar and journalist Kay S. Hymowitz offers a startling explanation for today's sophisticated youngsters. For generations, unique American ideas of childrearing have created adults who both think independently and feel accountable to others. But the way we raise our children has been changing. During the 20th-century, experts began telling us youngsters have little need for instruction or supervision--in fact, children really are small adults who already know what is best for themselves. Senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and an affiliate scholar at the Institute for American Values, Kay S. Hymowitz reveals why so many of our children continue to act childishly when they grow up. 2017.Raising boys in a new kind of world

In this time of ecological precarity, "Rag Cosmology" is an urgent invitation to reinvent our modes of engagement with the…
environment we not only inhabit, but are. Refusing the lamentation that leaves us as resigned witnesses to devastation, "Rag Cosmology" counters fatalist narratives with the pleasures of ecological entanglement and engagement. Tracing relationships between seemingly irreconcilable things--economy and ecology, weather and lust, bills and inner voices, wages of avoidance and wages of listening--these poems offer the intimate and lush language of thought that yearn for an imaginative reinvention of how we understand what we are part of and what we are losing. Winner of the 2017 A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry (QWF). 2017.Racing the white silence: on the trail of the Yukon Quest

Quand les pierres se mirent à rêver (Lieu dit)
Par Jean-François Beauchemin. 2007
Quand les pierres se mirent à rêver est le fruit d'une réflexion sur la solitude, non seulement vécue comme un…
état, mais aperçue comme un lieu. Ce lieu bien sur est intérieur à l'homme, tout entier délimité par cet objet étrange qu'est le corps, qui est son hôte. Pourtant, il est suggéré dans ces pages que quelque chose dans cette solitude relie le corps au reste du monde, et ainsi ne cesse de le convier à une forme de célébration. Il ne s'agit pas tant ici d'expliquer cela. Ou si on l'explique, ce ne sera jamais qu'au moyen d'une certaine poésie. 2007.
