By Donato Mancini. 2017
Influenced by documentary cinema, Dada poets, montage techniques, and a range of poets who are still writing, "Same Diff" explores…
the way social and economic histories become imprinted within language itself. The political and poetic melancholy of our moment is revealed in a long poem on climate change, particularly the disappearance of snow, while the real-life effects of fiscal austerity and poverty are voiced in fragments conveying social neuroses that stem from amplified, unfair competition for basic necessities. Each poem introduces a dominant motif that develops through repetition and incremental variations, sourcing language from newspapers, web sources, and overheard conversations to create an emotive effect, as felt in music. Bringing together research that spans the 15th century to the present day, Mancini searches for symbols that stand in for major social issues to articulate the nuances of living in a precarious time. 2017.

By Jean-Paul Simard. 2012

avec le questionnement humain sur le sens de la vie, de l'amour et de la souffrance.

Retrouver le goût de la vie
By Anselm Grün, Corinna Gepner. 2013
'' Dans une société où même le temps du loisir doit être comblé par des activités , nous courons, nous…
courons... jusqu'à ce qu'advienne la grande fatigue. Lorsque nous nous heurtons à la frustration et à l'impuissance, quand le chemin que nous avons pris ne nous a finalement menés nulle part, nous nous sentons vidés, dépossédés de tout désir. Anselm Grün nous montre comment faire face à ces moments d'angoisse voire d'effondrement, qui peuvent dès lors être saisis comme autant d'occasions de revenir vers nous-mêmes. En effet, ces grandes fatigues ont la capacité insoupçonnée de nous mener vers l'essentiel de notre vie : le rythme de notre propre âme et de notre corps afin de retrouver notre source intérieure.
