Among the new titles with Editions POL, I chose four poets. Following times crossed of Michelle Grangaud and Beach weather of Christian Prigent ( blog August 23, 2010), I present the collection of two other poets, or The formula flirtation, of Anne Portugal, and, Live Version of Sigolène Prebois . It continues the concept of torque, but remember, the original meaning of the term given by Le Petit Rober t: torque just Cople (1190), which comes from the Latin copula, meaning " link, link .
[] For Anne Portugal, couples are texts that go two by two. A face-to-face, an even page and an odd page, I tried to make the best in this blog. We understand that the goal here is to give an overview of the collection and from there to invite you to read it all in its original presentation.
[] Without saying so explicitly, Sigolène Prebois approaches the couple whose the link is the most intimate of all: mother and child. More precisely, the final rupture of this relationship: the death of a mother. Without excessive effusion without "miaulerie," the text, rather, is simple and sincere-a bare text, without artifice. The sketch naive Catherine Levy , accompanying short paragraphs, are there to alleviate suffering, make it bearable.
You will, perhaps ... baffled by the sketches. Then, reread the text with your child's heart ... and remember visiting the funeral home or review movies that are. You will find:
"Situations funny, jokes muddy to clear the air and the maddening pain of weeping shriveled, "writes Thomas Flamerion.
In his critique of the book, Thomas Flamerion book in a safe and fair analysis. Rather than paraphrase the text, I give you to read his critique of the report: it is a gem (I mean his criticism ... of course).
Anne Portugal FORMULA FLIRT, POL, 96 pages
This new collection of Anne Portugal evokes shook things, it is constructed from texts that go in pairs, face to face. Different they are the same title and by cross brushing, a little like Jane and Tarzan on his vine each goes his own way but they come so close yet s'effleurent, this is called flirting. One could say that this never enter, never freezing, never enter the chronology dramatic nothing begins, nothing can stop. Everything is outstanding, fugitive, evanescent you can call it poetry, some form of flirtation poetry, this could be love.

Sigolène Prebois, LIVE VERSION, POL 224 pages, illus. by Catherine Levy
"Within minutes enough (1) to browse this 'Live Version' of the death of a mother. A few minutes stolen from the time of the agony and stretched the days after, when the funeral are annoying trivialities and absorb. Where auscultate the suffering of others to support violence, Sigolène Prebois prefers to crystallize these moments where the unreal drama flirts with absurdity.
His weapon to exorcise the trouble is his naive drawings, characters barely sketched, which under the mask of animals to the nearest lose their gravity. Yet the unbearable anguish of waiting is palpable. It runs until the last breath of an emaciated body, including energy necessarily extraordinary escapes unfairly.
But in humor desperate days preceding the implementation beer thrives Unbearable Lightness of mourning. Comical situations, jokes muddy to clear the air and the maddening pain of weeping scalded, Sigolène Prebois registered in its own way the loss of a loved one in the rat race of life. A
devouring pace, ridiculous, leaving barely enough time to digest the shock between ordering a coffin made of cellulose on its iPhone and dispersal of goods that can not keep. Telegraphed the text - and telegraph - that comes with these simple sketches sometimes simply to repeat the directions. And the inevitable sorrow of children illustrated that through modest reflex affectionate.
But this touching graphic novel, published by POL surprisingly, lacks neither poetry nor just. "

Other extracts
Two painful moments in life. They are even worse than they are written in simple, unadorned, in a language "all day". Et .. this does not happen to others.
The phone call that would never, but never receive:
"Ah hello, yes, so we tried to call you this morning a little earlier, but it was your answering machine, then it is good that you reminded us because we wanted to tell you something, then yes this morning, eh early, around 5 o'clock the nurses went to see your mom, what they do every morning, eh, and then they realized that she had died in his sleep this morning, then here, must go, huh? must come, eh? "
The cruelest findings:
" The room was made. There's nothing left "
And then we stepped into the void ... Mom is dead! The word "orphan" or "orphan" you type in the brain like a passing endless.
Such is life! Come on, do not be (too) sad: enjoy the happy moments, both young and old!
