" Ce lieu touffu dans lequel nous entrons, vaste, furieux, peuplé d'êtres et d'idées et d'images, une cathédrale de mots,…
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.By Barbara Paquin. 2010

actions and regrets, in a perpetual state of movement. While living in solitude, she crosses borders actual (Algiers, Cuba, Canada), and timeless.

notre quotidien? Il se compose de réflexions, de poèmes et de lettres envoyées à l'auteur, Serge Laprade. 1981.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.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.By Diana Brandt. 2003
By Simon Dring. 1995
Over thirty years after his first trip, the author retraces his route to India - through Europe, the Middle East…
and Asia - documenting the changes and meeting a new generation of nineties' travellers. What are they looking for? Do they like it? Is it the same thing that the travellers of the sixties were in search of? Do freedom and friendship, curiosity and an overwhelming desire to survive, learn and grow still fire the imagination and challenge us to seek new horizons? 1995.By Eric Newby. 1984

While rich with advice to "Keep your personal longings with you at all times", "Old Hat" is also generous, incisive,…
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.By Dervla Murphy. 1976

Durant ces onze années, le marcheur porte turban et grande barbe au Soudan, mange des insectes en Afrique, du chien en Corée et du serpent en Chine. Il dort sous les ponts, dans des foyers pour sans-abri, voire dans des prisons, mais la plupart du temps chez des gens séduits par son aventure. 2013.Dans ce recueil, la parole coule comme la pensée et les larmes.
