cette Cathédrale de tout, là où ça s'affronte et se bouscule sur la route vers le sens. L'histoire, des histoires, une et mille et mille, comme une collection de mondes aux personnages étonnés. Des tableaux habités, hantés, foisonnants, furieux. La vie dans des souffles. " -- 4e de couv.La Poésie québécoise: des origines à nos jours

At the centre of this poem is the narrative of Yasmine, a woman living an underground life, fleeing from past…
actions and regrets, in a perpetual state of movement. While living in solitude, she crosses borders actual (Algiers, Cuba, Canada), and timeless.

By Richard Harrison. 2016
In his final years, Richard Harrison's father suffered from a form of dementia, but he died without ever forgetting the…
poems he had memorized as a student and had taught to Richard as a child. In 2013, the poet feared his father's ashes had been lost in the flood water that ravaged Alberta--a crisis that would become the inciting event and central theme of this collection. Combining elements of memoir, elegy, lyrical essay and personal correspondence with appreciations of literary works ranging from haiku to comic books, Richard Harrison has written a book of great intellectual depth that is as generous as it is enchanting. Winner of the 2017 Governor General’s Award for Poetry. 2016. Uniform title: Poems.Ocean
By Sue Goyette. 2013
The ocean has never had a biographer quite like Sue Goyette. Living in the port city of Halifax, Goyette’s days…
are bounded by the substantial fact of the North Atlantic, both by its physical presence and by its metaphoric connotations. And like many of life’s overwhelming facts, our awareness of the ocean’s importance and impact waxes and wanes as the ocean sometimes lurks in the background, sometimes imposes itself upon us, yet always, steadily, is. This collection of poems is not your standard “Oh, Ocean!” versifying. Goyette plunges in and swims well outside the buoys to craft a sort of alternate, apocryphal account of our relationship with the ocean. 2013.Now you care
By Diana Brandt. 2003

By Wayne Clifford. 2004

boisterous, and funny, a collection of poems about place, but also about understanding and situation. Spoken through clichés, vernacular, and jargon, it is just as familiar as it is odd, just as comforting as disquieting, an exceptional meditation on what it means to think about writing. 2014.November (Picador poetry)

By Georges Amsellem. 2014

s'occupe d'écriture et de production de films. Son propre itinéraire le sensibilise à la condition des immigrants, au département des minorités, écartelées entre l'exil et l'espoir. Il poétise, sans nostalgie ni complaisance sur l'espace, le temps et les sables du désert qu'il fait éclater pour ensuite nous en restituer la quintessence. 2014.Night errands: how poets use dreams

By Don McKay. 1991
Night
By David Harsent. 2011

our day-lit selves to visit a place where the dream-like and the nightmarish are never far apart. Culminates in 'Elsewhere', a noirish, labyrinthine quest-poem in which the protagonist is drawn ever onward through a series of encounters and reflections like an after-hours Orpheus, hard-bitten and harried by memory. Includes sex, strong language and violence. c2011.My shoes are killing me: poems
