Middle-earth, through the alliterative verse tales of two of the most crucial stories in Tolkien's world - those of Turien and Luthien. The first of the poems is the unpublished Lay of The Children of Hurin, narrating on a grand scale the tragedy of Turin Turambar. The second is the moving Lay of Leithian, the chief source of the tale of Beren and Luthien in The Silmarillion, telling of the Quest of the Silmaril and the encounter with Morgoth in his subterranean fortress. Accompanying the poems are commentaries on the evolution of the history of the Elder Days. Also included is the notable criticism of The Lay of The Leithian by C. S. Lewis, who read the poem in 1929. 2002.The rooster crows: a book of American rhymes and jingles (Their This is America books)

new. Stella and Luna know that their mama, Elsie, came from the Philippines when she was a child, but they don't know much else. So one night they ask her to tell them her story. As they get ready for bed, their mama spins two tales: that of her youth as a strong-willed middle child and refugee; and that of the young life of Mayari, the mythical daughter of a god. Both are tales of sisterhood and motherhood, and of the difficult experience of trying to fit into a new culture, and having to fight for a home and acceptance. Glorious and layered, this is a portrait of family and strength for the agesBoiteur des bois (Poésie)

By Martine Audet. 2019

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)
