" Tu vis à une époque intéressante, quelle malédiction, ça grouille, ça bruit, tu t'étourdis dans le mauvais film, une… rose de papier à la boutonnière. Tout le monde veut te souffler sa petite idée, tu as l'écoute un rien complaisante, tu traînes du papier à musique, au cas où; on fait ce qu'on peut avec ce qu'on a, et tout ce qu'on a c'est le bruit, c'est bien ça? Parle dans la tempête, voir. Une toune dans la tête, si tu la chantes, va-t-elle s'en aller? L'air est plus clair en hiver, alors les sons voyagent mieux, non? Il y aura des questions, tu prendras le métro, faut quand même vivre aussi, tu penses à un sous-marin, le son se diffuse autrement dans l'eau - un jour tu te feras pousser des ailes, tu planeras sur les ondes grises, les ondes bleues. " -- 4e de couv.

What keeps us together? What breaks us apart? 27 creative nonfiction writers and 15 poets explore the enormity of marriage… and committed relationships and how they have challenged, shaped, supported and changed them. The stories and poems in this collection delve deep into the mysteries of long-term bonds. The authors cover a gamut of issues and ideas--everything from everyday conflicts to deep philosophical divides, as well as jealousy, adultery, physical or mental illness, and loss. There's happiness here too, along with love and companionship, whether the long-term partnering is monogamous, polyamorous, same-sex or otherwise. From surprise proposals, stolen quickies, and snoring to arranged marriage, affairs, suicide, and much more, these wide-ranging personal stories and poems are sometimes funny, sometimes harrowing, and always engaging as they offer their intimate and varied insights into the complex state that is marriage. 2018.
