Ocean
Par Sue Goyette. 2013
The ocean has never had a biographer quite like Sue Goyette. Living in the port city of Halifax, Goyette’s days…
are bounded by the substantial fact of the North Atlantic, both by its physical presence and by its metaphoric connotations. And like many of life’s overwhelming facts, our awareness of the ocean’s importance and impact waxes and wanes as the ocean sometimes lurks in the background, sometimes imposes itself upon us, yet always, steadily, is.

Goyette plunges in and swims well outside the buoys to craft a sort of alternate, apocryphal account of our relationship with the ocean. 2013.Now you care

boisterous, and funny, a collection of poems about place, but also about understanding and situation. Spoken through clichés, vernacular, and jargon, it is just as familiar as it is odd, just as comforting as disquieting, an exceptional meditation on what it means to think about writing. 2014.November (Picador poetry)

Includes sex, strong language and violence. c2011.Niels Bohr et la physique quantique (Points. 145)

Par Jean-Louis Fournier. 2007

quand l'on est directement concerné. Pourtant, Jean-Louis Fournier parvient à en parler d'une façon incroyable : il mise tout sur l'humour.
