By Meg Grehan. 2021
Eleven-year-old Stevie is an avid reader and knows a lot of things about a lot of things. She knows how…
to send Morse code through her bedroom wall to her mom. She knows the names of the constellations. And she knows that an octopus has three hearts and nine brains. Knowing things makes her feel safe, powerful, and in control should anything bad happen. But there's one more thing Stevie doesn't know, one thing she wants to understand above everything else, and one thing she isn't quite ready to share with her mom: the fizzy feeling she gets in her chest when she looks at her friend Chloe. What does it mean, and why isn't she ready to talk about it? In this poetic exploration of identity and anxiety, Stevie must confront her fears to find inner freedom, all while discovering it is our connections with others that make us strongerScribbled in the dark: poems

Poésies
By Stéphane Mallarmé. 2021
La rencontre d'un des plus grands poètes français et d'une grande voix du théâtre contemporain Avec celles de Baudelaire et…
de Rimbaud, la figure de Stéphane Mallarmé domine la modernité poétique qui se constitue à la fin du XIXe siècle, et, quoique son oeuvre fût rare, adressée à une élite de lecteurs lentement accrue, « il lui avait suffi, dit Valéry, de quelques poèmes pour remettre en question l'objet même de la littérature ». Un vers nouveau naît avec lui, une poésie qui donne congé au réel pour en préférer l'évocation pure, un langage qu'on a pu dire obscur mais qui n'est en réalité que le défi lancé aux lecteurs qui sauront, pour eux-mêmes, en déployer secrètement le sens. Cette sélection regroupe une trentaine de poèmes, parmi les plus beaux et célèbres de Mallarmé : Brise Marine, L'Azur, Apparition... Jean-Pierre Malo s'approprie l'oeuvre de Mallarmé avec talent, mettant à son service une énergie et une sensibilité remarquables. Une lecture d'une justesse impeccable, qui souligne formidablement le sens de ces textes éclatants. Un enregistrement d'exception, réalisé en 1992, dont Audiolib publie ici une version remasterisée inédite pour faire revivre ce chef d'oeuvre du patrimoine sonore. Les poèmes sont présentés dans l'ordre d'édition du recueil publié en 1914 par La Nouvelle revue française : Salut Le Guignon Apparition Placet futile Le Pitre Châtié « Une négresse par le démon secouée » Les Fenêtres Les Fleurs Renouveau Angoisse « Las de l'amer repos où ma paresse offense » Le Sonneur Tristesse d'Été L'Azur Brise Marine Aumône Sonnet - 2 novembre 1877 Don du Poème Toast funèbre Feuillet d'album « Ô si chère de loin et proche et blanche » « Rien au réveil que vous n'ayez » « Si tu veux nous nous aimerons » Chansons bas « Quand l'ombre menaça de la fatale loi » « Le vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui » « Victorieusement fui le suicide beau » Le tombeau d'Edgar Poe Tombeau - Anniversaire, janvier 1897 « Tout orgueil fume-t-il du soir » « Quelle soie aux baumes de temps » « Mes bouquins refermés sur le nom de Paphos »Avec la participation de Marie-Ève Dufresne pour l'annonce des titresRumble
