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.New and collected poems

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 worldL'existence dépouillée des rivières

a immigré au Québec, pour lui raconter tout ce qu'elle a eu d'abord l'instinct de taire : l'exil, le racisme, la honte. Avec une écriture soignée cherchant à traverser les frontières entre la poésie et le récit, l'autrice répare la césure qui sépare la réfugiée timorée dans un monde inconnu de ce garçon téméraire, trilingue et amoureux des bestioles. Ce qui est tu bâtit minutieusement de véritables ponts entre les expériences et les générations, de manière à donner en héritage non pas la honte, mais rien de moins que la beauté du mondeTrop de Pascale (Queer)

mimétiques et de reflets déformants. Chaque fragment se déploie comme une petite installation qui interroge la présence dans toutes ses contradictions, une présence pleine d'affects, de paillettes et de latex donnant des formes kaléidoscopiques et excessives à la beauté. Écriture-performance et collage de bouts de soi, Trop de Pascale n'est pas qu'un livre. C'est un événementOsti d'pain blanc

leur descendance. Avec un humour désespéré, la poète examine son rapport à la nourriture. Elle détaille le lien, direct et aliénant, entre l'image du corps et un écrasant assortiment d'injonctions sociales, médicales, voire morales, auxquelles personne n'échappe. L'intime et le politique s'entrecoupent dans un recueil clairvoyant et rageur
