" J'ai besoin que le monde m'aime. Voilà, c'est dit. Après neuf mois d'entretiens et de rencontres, Raymond Gravel me…
lance cette toute petite phrase. Si quelques mots pouvaient le résumer, ce serait ceux-là. Ils sont la définition de son être, du besoin viscéral qui l'a fait avancer toute sa vie. S'il y a une chose que la maladie n'a pas changée chez lui, c'est bien cette soif de communiquer, de discuter pendant des heures. Or, quand vient le temps de parler de lui-même, Raymond Gravel se transforme en homme de peu de mots. Comme si ce n'était pas important. Comme s'il n'en valait pas la peine. Je me suis souvent demandé en l'écoutant ce qu'il serait devenu si l'homme était né une génération plus tard. Ses sermons en chaire auraient peut-être pris une autre forme. Politicien de carrière, homme de scène, motivateur, ou même journaliste pour la télévision : n'importe quoi qui lui aurait permis de capter l'attention des foules. Après tout, si tant de gens l'écoutent, c'est peut-être parce qu'il a quelque chose d'intéressant à raconter. " -- 4e de couv.By Joyce Sidman. 2010

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. Winner of the 2017 A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry (QWF). 2017.By Raymond Lévesque. 1969
By Jean-François Beauchemin. 2007
Quand les pierres se mirent à rêver est le fruit d'une réflexion sur la solitude, non seulement vécue comme un…
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.By Tony Dungy, Nathan Whitaker. 2008
