L'homme rapaillé
Par Gaston Miron. 1970
Recours poétiques et didactiques d'un poète "barde national" qui est aussi une légende. L'auteur de "L'homme rapaillé" considérait son écriture…
comme "non définitive" aussi longtemps que ne serait pas réglée le préalable question politique (l'indépendance). 1970.Boiteur des bois (Poésie)
Par Félix Perkins. 2020
Boiteur des bois est une quête. Une quête de soi. Une quête identitaire presque aussi dévastatrice que révélatrice. Le jeune…
poète nous entraine avec lui, comme le coureur des bois, à la rencontre de ses doutes, de ses questionnements et de ses démons. Il nous invite à le suivre à travers les grands arbres, les rivières et les blessures. Un partage qui ne laissera personne indemne. Heureusement.La société des cendres
Par Martine Audet. 2019
Suie, pleurs, étoiles, neiges et quelques floraisons, le poème n'est-il pas, comme les cendres, ce que l'on recueille avant la…
dispersion? Et le geste, le souffle du poète, celui d'un laveur/laveuse de cendres? Dans un enchaînement de glissements, de heurts et d'abandons, et sans jamais éviter le coeur, les poèmes de La société des cendres tentent de dégager l'empreinte, volatile certes, mais néanmoins fascinante, des tumultes, éclats et mystères de notre présence autant que de notre absence à l'autre et au monde. La deuxième partie, Des lames entières (d'abord paru en livre d'artiste avec des gravures de François-Xavier Marange), s'attarde, quant à elle, à ce qui construit ou entrave les mouvements parfois tranchants, parfois de fond, du comment être, à même la perte et ses souffrances, pour ouvrir un passage, entre désir et peur, à de possibles métamorphoses.Uiesh, Quelque part (Poésie)
Par Joséphine Bacon. 2019
Quelque part, une aînée avance. Elle porte en elle Nutshimit, Terre des ancêtres. Une mémoire vive nomadise, épiant la ville,…
ce lieu indéfini. La parole agrandit le cercle de l'humanité. Joséphine Bacon fixe l'horizon, conte les silences et l'immensité du territoire.Colle-moi

lien familial perdu, l'enfant partage des états d'âme nuancés, riches. On y reconnaitra l'écriture franche et sensible de Véronique Grenier (Hiroshimoi, Chenous, Carnet de parc) qui n'hésite pas à décortiquer les émotions au moyen d'images étonnantes et toutes simples.Cowpoke Clyde and Dirty Dawg

prospector's request. "The Cremation of Sam McGee" was based on one of many peculiar tales he heard upon his 1904 arrival in the Canadian frontier town of Whitehorse. Less than a decade after the Klondike gold rush, many natives and transplants remained to tell stories of the boom towns that sprang up with the sudden influx of miners, gamblers, barflies, and other fortune-seekers. Service's compelling verses — populated by One-Eyed Mike, Dangerous Dan McGrew, and other colorful characters — recapture the era's venturesome spirit and vitality.In this, his best-remembered work, the "common man's poet" and "Canadian Kipling" presents thirty-four verses that celebrate the rugged natural beauty of the frozen North and the warm humanity of its denizens. Verses include "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" ("A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon"), "The Heart of the Sourdough" ("There where the mighty mountains bare their fangs unto the moon"), and "The Call of the Wild" (Have you gazed on naked grandeur where there's nothing else to gaze on"). Generations have fallen under the spell of these poems, which continue to enchant readers of all ages.The Sweetness of Life

grandfather. The doorbell rings, and the old man goes to answer. The next time the girl sees him, he is lying with his skull broken, his face a red pulp against the white snow. From that time on, she does not speak a single word. Raffael Horn, the psychiatrist engaged to treat the silent child, reluctantly becomes involved in solving the murder along with Detective Superintendent Ludwig Kovacs. Their parallel researches sweep through the town: a young mother who believes her new-born child is the devil; a Benedictine monk who uses his iPod to drown the voices in his head; a high-spending teenager who tortures cats. The psychological profile of this claustrophobic, winter-held town is not reassuring - which, if any, of its inhabitants was the brutal night-time slayer of the suffering girl's grandfather?The Sweetness of Life

don't want to miss!" --Stephen Jay Schwartz, LA Times bestselling author of Boulevard and Beat Retired FBI profiler Lyle Barnes is falling apart mentally. Psychologist and trauma expert Daniel Rinaldi thinks he can help Barnes through his terrible night visions. Barnes, however, is also the target of an unknown assassin whose mounting list of victims paralyzes the city and lands Lyle in protective custody. Then Barnes disappears, drawing Daniel and the joint FBI-Pittsburgh PD Task Force into a desperate manhunt. Meanwhile, the mother of a youthful confessed killer awaiting trial is convinced that her son is innocent and appeals to Daniel for help. Against his better judgment, he becomes involved, and soon suspects that much about the case is not as it appears. Can Daniel and the law officials find the missing Barnes before the killer does? Are these two seemingly unconnected cases somehow linked?
