Rag cosmology
Par Erin Robinsong. 2017
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.

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.Québécoise!
