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.

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.Qui a tué Napoléon?

Uniform title: Na vlastni kuzi.Les furies de Hitler: comment les femmes allemandes ont participé à la Shoah
Par Wendy Lower. 2014
" Envoyées dans les pays occupés par l'Allemagne nazie, des femmes jeunes, endoctrinées et ambitieuses, se sont transformées en meurtrières.…
Cette enquête fait voler en éclats bien des idées reçues. Non, les femmes allemandes n'ont pas été les témoins passifs de meurtres de masse accomplis par les Einsatzgruppen, leurs maris, leurs fiancés, leurs amants ou leurs supérieurs. Elles leur ont prêté main forte. De 1941 à 1945, près d'un demi-million d'entre elles secrétaires, infirmières, maîtresses d'école, dactylos, assistantes, auxiliaires se sont portées volontaires pour rejoindre les rangs des persécuteurs, des assassins, des bourreaux. Établissant des listes de Juifs à éliminer, apportant à boire et à manger aux soldats pendant les exécutions de masse, les encourageant, ou les réconfortant, voire en tirant elles aussi sur les Juifs affectés aux travaux forcés. Plongée dans les archives, journaux intimes, correspondances pendant la guerre et compte-rendus d'audience de procès tenus après-guerre, Wendy Lower nous brosse un tableau saisissant de ces femmes qu'elle qualifie de véritables furies tant elles ont donné libre cours à leur haine, avec violence, en brutalisant des êtres humains qu'elles pouvaient dominer, malmener, voire tuer. Un livre choc. " -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: Hitler's furies.Paradise lost
