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.

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.
