Abandons. Abandon dans la mort, dans l'amour, dans la violence, dans la peur, dans l'alcool: le propos de cette poésie…
tient dans les faits du quotidien, du réel. Les mêmes attitudes, les mêmes mots se retrouvent d'un poème à l'autre, mais chacun d'entre eux bascule inévitablement dans le rêve ou le fantasme. Abandons révèle des scènes concentrées où l'intensité provient de détails superflus, inattendus, quelque chose qui soudainement serait plus grave que la mort. Peu à peu s'établissent entre ces scènes des liens, des rythmes communs. Ces visions fugitives sont fixées là, tout de suite, sans nécessairement être développées. Le poème est la forme idéale pour qu'on ne puisse oublier ces instants. La maison d'Ophélie. La maison d'Ophélie explore la frontière qui sépare la vie normale du chaos. Chaque poème a le pouvoir d'investir les objets et les êtres d'une inquiétante étrangeté en suggérant une menace omniprésente cachée au cœur des apparences. Ces poèmes écrits en écho sont à la fois commentaires l'un de l'autre, et jeu de dualité et de résonances. L'imaginaire y contamine peu à peu la réalité. À preuve, ces nombreuses scènes du quotidien qu'un élément suffit à brouiller et à faire basculer dans une autre dimension

A moving #OwnVoices poetry collection written by young newcomers to Canada Carry On began in a high school in Outremont,…
Quebec, where author and poet Simon Boulerice conducted creative-writing workshops for young newcomers to Canada. As the students began writing, their poems gave voice to their reflections on leaving family, friends, and countries of origin to make new homes and connections in their new home, Canada. Paired with expressive portraits by award-winning artist Rogé, each young writer reflects on the experience of leaving one home for another. The collection of poems express feelings of anxiety, sorrow, anticipation, gratitude, and hope for the future. With thoughtful verse and evocative illustrations, Carry On is a tribute to human resilience, the voices of newcomers, and creating empathy for all those who wonder about their place in the world.
