les lumières rouges d'une station-service. Il dévoile un personnage éponyme qui a soif de l'autre avec un grand A. Minou a des passions exponentielles, des envies fortes, des fantasmes sans pudeur et ses humeurs débordent jusqu'au bar du coin.

me questionne, on me harcèle : "Qu'as-tu? de quoi souffres-tu? quel mal t'ai-je donc fait?" Et je suis sans paroles, je suis un animal, je suis désolée je ne peux pas. Il faut néanmoins essayer, poursuivre la conversation, reprendre pied. Me saisissant de quelques mots trop gros, j'entreprends de construire des escaliers. Des poèmes qui descendent l'escalierTu étais ma façon d'aimer: poésie (Graffiti #147)

de mon cerveau et la charbonner sur mes feuilles lignées Avant quand mon crayon touchait le papier mon cahier s'enflammait j'avais tellement d'idées que ma main n'allait pas assez vite pour les écrire les mots déboulaient et ma tête répétait pour ne pas les oublier les phrases pressées les unes contre les autres qui se tenaient sur le plongeon de dix mètres avant de sauter dans le vide et de me surprendreJe ferai battre le coeur des pommes (Collection Omri)

immense : ce n'est pas rien, un corps, dehors. Comment mesurer la distance entre ce que l'on perd et ce que l'on laisse, entre les limites de soi et celle du monde, entre le vaste et le petit ?Crever les eaux (Hamac-poésie)

À terre ouverte invite à la découverte d'une Amérique latine méconnue, inégale et douloureuse. Cette poésie témoigne d'une grande puissance…
et d'une perpétuelle résistance. Il s'agit d'un véritable cri de justice dénonçant les irrégularités, les blessures et les préjudices d'un pouvoir écrasant - donc inhumain. Le recueil met en valeur une latinité profonde et variée qui se voudra lieu de rencontre pour la diversité et l'identitéÔ merveilleux de l'enfance

acte politique. Une escouade de résistants poétiques se sont mis à l'œuvre dans le plus grand secret. Réunis plus ou moins télépathiquement pour une mission de la plus haute importance amusante : s'émerveiller suffisamment fort pour que le bleu de la flamme de leurs souvenirs d'enfance puisse éclairer vos nuits. Chacun d'entre eux a pris place dans l'avion en papier géant qu'ils passent leur vie à confectionner, déchirer, recoller et réinventer. Ils s'apprêtent à semer des graines d'histoires dans vos rêves. » Mathias Malzieu Parce que le livre est le moyen infaillible de garder au plus près de soi une part de merveilleux, Mathias Malzieu a donné rendez-vous à quelques-uns des artistes, créateurs, écrivains qu'il admire, autant de voix qui, entre tendresse, curiosité et nostalgie joyeuse, reviennent à cette période étonnante qu'est l'enfance.

Par Megan Fox. 2023
Megan Fox showcases her wicked humor throughout a heartbreaking and dark collection of poetry. Over the course of more than…
seventy poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process. "These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I've spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what's been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness," says Fox. Pretty Boys Are Poisonous marks the powerful debut from one of the most well-known women of our time.

Par Ed Conway. 2023
Sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium. These fundamental materials have created empires, razed civilizations, and fed our ingenuity and…
greed for thousands of years. Without them, our modern world would not exist, and the battle to control them will determine our future. • Finalist for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award The fiber-optic cables that weave the World Wide Web, the copper veins of our electric grids, the silicon chips and lithium batteries that power our phones and cars: though it can feel like we now live in a weightless world of information—what Ed Conway calls "the ethereal world"—our twenty-first-century lives are still very much rooted in the material. In fact, we dug more stuff out of the earth in 2017 than in all of human history before 1950. For every ton of fossil fuels, we extract six tons of other materials, from sand to stone to wood to metal. And in Material World, Conway embarks on an epic journey across continents, cultures, and epochs to reveal the underpinnings of modern life on Earth—traveling from the sweltering depths of the deepest mine in Europe to spotless silicon chip factories in Taiwan to the eerie green pools where lithium originates. Material World is a celebration of the humans and the human networks, the miraculous processes and the little-known companies, that combine to turn raw materials into things of wonder. This is the story of human civilization from an entirely new perspective: the ground upRegard d'Annie Dillard (Contre jour)

Elle raconte avoir dessiné à répétition, durant un été, son gant de baseball. Cet exercice rappelle l'une des forces de son imaginaire, à savoir l'action du regard.

soleil, ses mains ouvertes, son corps fatigué. L’intimité de sa chambre abandonnée explose de mystère et révèle à voix basse l’histoire de ses joies et de ses douleurs. En un réseau serré d’échos poétiques, Anne Martine Parent intrique silhouettes et fantômes, constellations, forêts, villes de sable et plages en ruines. Les peaux raccommodées de feuilles mortes, les corps féminins trahis et disloqués, qui se défont et se recomposent, deviennent autant de lieux de réparation, d’horizons fulgurants qu’on échafaude en retenant son souffle.To see a program successfully through to completion, a program manager must break the work down into simpler, smaller pieces…

Par Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. 2023
Will artificial intelligence improve the way we work and live, or will it alienate us? The choice is ours. What…
will we decide? It's no secret that AI is changing the way we live, work, love, and entertain ourselves. Dating apps are using AI to pick our potential partners. Retailers are using AI to predict our behavior and desires. Rogue actors are using AI to persuade us with Twitter bots and fake news. Companies are using AI to hire us-or not. This is just the beginning. As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. Are you ready? In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us. To do so, we'll need to double down on what makes us so special-our curiosity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence-while relying on the lost virtues of empathy, humility, and self-control. Filled with big-think fascinations and practical wisdom, I, Human is the book we need to thrive in the futurePreschool, here i come! (Here I Come!)

Par Saket Soni. 2023
The astonishing story of immigrants lured to the United States from India and trapped in forced labor—an "eye-opening" "must-read" told…
by the visionary labor leader who engineered their escape and set them on a path to citizenship ( The New York Times Book Review ). In late 2006, Saket Soni, a 28-year-old, Indian-born community organizer received an anonymous phone call from an Indian migrant worker inside a Mississippi labor camp. He and 500 other men were living in squalor in Gulf Coast "man camps," surrounded by barbed wire, watched by armed guards, crammed into cold trailers with putrid portable toilets, forced to eat moldy bread and frozen rice. Worse, lured by the promise of good work and green cards, the men had desperately scraped together up to $20,000 each to apply for this "opportunity" to rebuild oil rigs after Hurricane Katrina, putting their families into impossible debt. During a series of clandestine meetings, Soni and the workers devise a bold plan. In The Great Escape, Soni traces the workers' extraordinary escape, their march on foot to Washington DC, and their 23-day-hunger strike to bring attention to their cause. Along the way, ICE agents try to deport the men, company officials work to discredit them, and politicians avert their eyes. But none of this shakes the workers' determination to win their dignity and keep their promises to their families. Weaving a deeply personal journey with a riveting tale of 21st-century forced labor, Soni takes us into the hidden lives of the foreign workers the US increasingly relies on for cheap skilled labor to rebuild after climate disasters. The Great Escape is the astonishing story of one of the largest human trafficking cases in modern American history—and the workers' heroic journey for justiceShopify for dummies

Par Joshua Bennett. 2023
A "rich hybrid of memoir and history" ( The New Yorker ) of the literary art form that has transformed…
the cultural landscape, by one of its influential practitioners, an award-winning poet, professor, and slam champion "Bennett…transport[s] us back to the city blocks, bars, cafes and stages these artists traversed and inhabited…an instructive text for young poets, artists or creative entrepreneurs trying to find a way to carve out a space for themselves…Shines with a refreshing dynamism." — The New York Times In 2009, when he was twenty years old, Joshua Bennett was invited to perform a spoken word poem for Barack and Michelle Obama, at the same White House "Poetry Jam" where Lin-Manuel Miranda declaimed the opening bars of a work-in-progress that would soon revolutionize American theater. That meeting is but one among many in the trajectory of Bennett's young life, as he rode the cresting wave of spoken word through the 2010s. In this book, he goes back to its roots, considering the Black Arts movement and the prominence of poetry and song in Black education; the origins of the famed Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the Lower East Side living room of the visionary Miguel Algarín, who hosted verse gatherings with legendary figures like Ntozake Shange and Miguel Piñero; the rapid growth of the "slam" format that was pioneered at the Get Me High Lounge in Chicago; the perfect storm of spoken word's rise during the explosion of social media; and Bennett's own journey alongside his older sister, whose work to promote the form helped shape spaces online and elsewhere dedicated to literature and the pursuit of human freedom. A celebration of voices outside the dominant cultural narrative, who boldly embraced an array of styles and forms and redefined what—and whom—the mainstream would include, Bennett's book illuminates the profound influence spoken word has had everywhere melodious words are heard, from Broadway to academia, from the podiums of political protest to cafés, schools, and rooms full of strangers all across the worldWarren buffett: Investor and entrepreneur
Par Todd Finkle. 2023
Warren Buffett is perhaps the most accomplished investor of all time. The CEO and chair of Berkshire Hathaway has earned…
admiration for not only his financial feats but also the philosophy behind them. Todd A. Finkle provides striking new insights into Buffett's career through the lens of entrepreneurship. This book demonstrates that although Buffett is thought of primarily as an investor, one of the secrets to his success has been running Berkshire as an entrepreneur. Finkle-a Buffett family friend-shares his perspective on Buffett's early life and business ventures. The book traces the entrepreneurial paths that shaped Buffett's career, from selling gum door-to-door during childhood to forming Berkshire Hathaway and developing it into a global conglomerate through the imaginative deployment of financial instruments and creative deal making. Finkle considers Buffett's investment methodology, management strategy, and personal philosophy on building a rewarding life in terms of entrepreneurship. He also zeroes in on Buffett's longtime business partner, Charlie Munger, and his contributions to Berkshire's success. Finkle draws key lessons from Buffett's mistakes as well as his successes, using these failures to explore the ways behavioral biases can affect investors and how to overcome themBreaking twitter: Elon musk and the most controversial corporate takeover in history
