By Félix Perkins. 2020
Boiteur des bois est une quête. Une quête de soi. Une quête identitaire presque aussi dévastatrice que révélatrice. Le jeune…
poète nous entraine avec lui, comme le coureur des bois, à la rencontre de ses doutes, de ses questionnements et de ses démons. Il nous invite à le suivre à travers les grands arbres, les rivières et les blessures. Un partage qui ne laissera personne indemne. Heureusement.La société des cendres
By Martine Audet. 2019
Suie, pleurs, étoiles, neiges et quelques floraisons, le poème n'est-il pas, comme les cendres, ce que l'on recueille avant la…
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)

people we love. Some violence. For high school and adult readersMoth; or how I came to be with you again: Or, How I Came To Be With You Again
By Thomas Heise. 2013
"A deeply melancholic and moving work of art."-Carole MasoEvery writer is a man or woman resuscitated, brought back for a…
little while before being dismissed. While I was hovering in bed barely asleep, my father would sneak in to check on me. Sometimes he came in the shape of a stranger, but his black eyes with a mark of sorrow never changed. When I was younger I could run so fast my shadow would fly off me. I would leave it behind in the city where I was born. There was no city, only my mother's arms. Dear grief, hermetic as a goat's skull. The future where you are, but how to get there except waiting another year.The narrator in Thomas Heise's adventurous novel tries to fuse together his present and past, abandonment by his parents, childhood in an orphanage, and a strong sense of disconnection from his adult life. The story is written in columnar, densely lyrical sections, looping and vertiginously dropping into the speaker's past, across several cities in Europe. W.G. Sebald, Samuel Beckett, and Michelangelo Antonioni's films come to mind, especially L'Avventura and Red Desert. Heise's language is precise (dirigibles "no larger than a fennel seed") and his lush, unfolding sentences offer a great, gorgeous pleasure. Moth is a haunting, one-of-a-kind novel that will stay with the reader for a long, long time.Thomas Heise is the author of Horror Vacui: Poems and Urban Underworlds: A Geography of Twentieth-Century American Literature and Culture. He teaches at McGill University.How to be Nowhere

By Robin Robertson. 2018
A stunning modern epic that innovatively combines noir narrative and lyrical poetry, The Long Take follows Walker, a survivor of…
D-Day, from bucolic Cape Breton to an America beset by paranoia and corruption.Walker is a D-Day veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder; he can’t return home to rural Nova Scotia, and looks instead to the city for freedom, anonymity, and repair. As he finds his way from New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco, we witness a crucial period of fracture in American history, one that also allowed film noir to flourish. The Dream had gone sour but — as those dark, classic movies made clear — the country needed outsiders to study and dramatize its new anxieties. Both an outsider and, gradually, an insider, Walker finds work as a journalist, and tries to piece his life together as America is beginning to come apart: riven by social and racial divisions, spiraling corruption, and the collapse of the inner cities.An epic for the modern world, it is a tale of damaged people trying to find kindness in the world, of cynicism and paranoia, and of redemption. Robin Robertson's fluid verse pans with filmic immediacy across the postwar urban scene — and into the heart of an unforgettable character. The Long Take is a genre-crossing work of stunning originality, beauty, and immediacy.
