Comment s'orienter dans une époque marquée par des bouleversements écologiques sans précédent, auxquels, manifestement, ni les États ni le capital…
ne pallieront? Comment agir politiquement à l'ère de l'inouï, quand on ne dispose d'aucun pendant historique pour appréhender les catastrophes annoncées? Comment s'engager quand l'extrême droite sème la confusion et détourne la colère des objets réels? Comment s'y prendre quand le libéralisme dissout tous nos repères dans la gouvernance technocratique? "Que faire?" Cette question obnubile la pensée politique depuis plus d'un siècle. Alain Deneault nous convie à en penser les prémisses et les incidences pour l'ancrer dans les temps présents. Hors de toute programmatique serrée, mais avec la lucidité qu'on lui connaît, il invite notamment à explorer un nouveau mode d'engagement politique, la biorégion. Alors que faire? Livrer la guerre à la médiocratie. Évoquer les enjeux qui fâchent. Penser à l'échelle collective. Mal faire les choses, faire mal. Cesser de se poser la question et sortir de la sidération de l'écoanxiété. Le moment est venu de faire que!

Noémie Pomerleau-Cloutier signe ici une première œuvre pour la jeunesse dans laquelle elle effectue une plongée tout en douceur et…
en sensibilité dans un cerveau atypique et flamboyant. Alternant entre joie et tristesse, entre colère et douceur, entre acceptation et indignation face à un diagnostic qui vient mettre des mots parfois tranchants sur la réalité, le protagoniste de Tête boule disco traverse la vie à sa manière, sans s'excuser. Le recueil se déploie comme autant de miroirs pour nous faire voir l'intérieur des choses, la lumière surtout, celle qui jaillit parfois alors qu'on ne s'y attend pas

Borrowing its title from a finance term—"the estimated price of a good or service for which no market price exists"—Shadow…
Price is a stunning debut that examines the idea of value in a world that burns under our capitalist lens. What gives life value? How do we serve existing societal structures that determine its cost? Employing both surreal and documentary imagery, Farah Ghafoor's arresting collection articulates how narrative is used to revise the past and manipulate the future, ultimately forming our present-day climate crisis. Interrogating personal complicity, generational implications, and the shock of our collective disregard for a world that sustains every living thing, Shadow Price captures the complexities of living and writing as a young poet born in the year that "climate change denial" first appeared in print. Mourning the loss of Earth's biodiversity, from insects to mammoths to trees, these introspective poems invite us to consider the risks and rewards of loving what may vanish in our lifetime. Shadow Price charges readers to contemplate their power and purpose in the world today, recognizing that there is hope even in the belly of the beast

The poems in Wellwater, Karen Solie’s sixth collection, explore the intersection of cultural, economic, and personal ideas of “value,” addressing…
housing, economic and environmental crisis, and aging and its incumbent losses. In an era of accelerating inequality, places many of us thought of as home have become unaffordable. In “Basement Suite,” the faux-utopian economy of Airbnb suggests people with property “share” it with us and, presumably, we should be grateful. In “Parables of the Rat” the speaker feels affinity with scavengers while also wanting the rats gone. Having grown up in Saskatchewan on a small family farm, Solie sees the economic and environmental crises as inseparable. Climate change has made small farming increasingly untenable, allowing overbearing corporate control of food production. But hope, Solie argues, is as necessary to addressing the crises of our time as bearing witness, in poems that celebrate wonder and persistence in the non-human world. Tamarack forests in Newfoundland that grow inches over hundreds of years, the suddenly thriving pronghorn antelope, or a new, unidentified and ineradicable climbing vine, all hint at renewal, and a way to move forward.
