route fondue au soleil d'été. Je vais chercher mon pain, mes nuages et mes étoiles dans l'unique librairie du Creusot. L'acacia au bas de la rue du Guide surgit comme un donateur fou. Son haleine sent le miel et l'or. Toutes les fleurs se ruent vers nous en nous léguant de leur vivant leur couleur et leur innocence. Les contempler mène à la vie parfaite. Les anémones sont si crédules que même l'enfer leur donne raison. " -- 4e de couv.The spirit of Canada: Canada's Story In Legends, Fiction, Poems And Songs

plus grands écrivains québécois du XIXe siècle. D'où l'intérêt de la présente anthologie, préparée par Laurent Mailhot et accueillie par un concert de louanges. Les pages et chapitres (chroniques intérieures; histoire, politique, polémique; critique; fragments sous forme de dictionnaire; etc) permettent au lecteur de juger de la vivacité, de la variété et du caractère audacieux d'une oeuvre, d'abord censurée, puis méconnue. Il est grand temps de découvrir cet attachant polémiste dont la seule ambition a été, peut-être, d'étonner ses contemporains par son style. c1978, 1994.A Gathering of spirit: a collection of North American Indian women

I'm Telling the Truth, but I'm Lying: Essays
Par Bassey Ikpi. 2019
A Publishers Weekly Spring Preview Selection A deeply personal collection of essays exploring Nigerian-American author Bassey Ikpi's experiences navigating Bipolar…
II and anxiety throughout the course of her life. Bassey Ikpi was born in Nigeria in 1976. Four years later, she and her mother joined her father in Stillwater, Oklahoma -a move that would be anxiety ridden for any child, but especially for Bassey. Her early years in America would come to be defined by tension: an assimilation further complicated by bipolar II and anxiety that would go undiagnosed for decades. By the time she was in her early twenties, Bassey was a spoken word artist and traveling with HBO's Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam, channeling her experiences into art. But something wasn't right-beneath the facade of the confident performer, Bassey's mental health was in a precipitous decline, culminating in a breakdown that resulted in hospitalization and a diagnosis of Bipolar II. Determined to learn from her experiences-and share them with others-Bassey became a mental health advocate and has spent the fourteen years since her diagnosis examining the ways mental health is inextricably intertwined with every facet of ourselves and our lives. Viscerally raw and honest, the result is an exploration of the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of who we are-and the ways, as honest as we try to be, each of these stories can also be a lie.Black writers matter

who tackle contemporary and pressing issues with beautiful, sometimes raw, prose. As Whitney French says in her introduction, it "injects new meaning into the word diversity [and] harbours a sacredness and an everydayness that offers Black people dignity." An "invitation to read, share, and tell stories of Black narratives that are close to the bone," this collection feels particular to the Black Canadian experience. 2019.
