qui constitue un moyen de devenir plus sage. 2011. Titre uniforme: A reader on reading.On not losing my father's ashes in the flood
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

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.On literature
By Umberto Eco, Martin McLaughlin. 2006

By Bernard Werber. 2003
Les humains sont-ils intelligents ? Sont-ils dangereux ? Sont-ils comestibles ? Sont-ils digestes ? Peut-on en faire l'élevage ? Peut-on…
les apprivoiser ? Peut-on discuter avec eux comme avec des égaux ? Telles sont les questions que peuvent se poser les extra-terrestres à notre égard. Pour en avoir le cœur net, ils kidnappent deux Terriens, un mâle et une femelle, Raoul et Samantha. Ils les installent, pour les étudier tranquillement, dans une cage à humains. Une " humainière ". Ils espèrent ainsi assister à une reproduction en captivité. Le problème, c'est que Raoul est un scientifique misanthrope et Samantha une dompteuse de tigres romantique. Pas simple dans ce cas pour nos deux cobayes de se comprendre et, a fortiori, de s'aimer... Avec cet ouvrage, rédigé comme un huis clos philosophique, Bernard Werber nous présente une nouvelle facette de son art. Une fois de plus, il nous propose de prendre un peu de recul, d'avoir une perspective différente pour comprendre l'humanité " autrement ".Nobody knows my name: more notes of a native son
