Best Running Socks For Wet

formula flirt - Anne Portugal / Live Version - Sigolène Prebois / Extracts. Poetry. Robert Lepage

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.

Here are excerpts from the formula flirtation, Anne Portugal

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. "
Review by Thomas Flamerion on evene.fr

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!

Thank you for reading! I'll be back soon ... _____

Average Cost For Caterers

- Wagner in the digital age / Renaud Machar - The World

Robert Lepage, Le Moulin à paroles, 2009
She runs, she runs ... not the disease of love, but the new launched on World : Robert Lepage passed Wagner in the digital age. Yep! The Quebec director prepares a "tetralogy" of high technology Metropolitan Opera in New York . Indeed, the first of Rheingold, the prologue of the cycle, will be held Sept. 27, while The Valkyrie will be given in April-May 2011 and the last two parts (Siegfried and The Gotterdammerung ) during the following season. Robert Lepage, one suspects failing to know, not a novice in this field. It is renowned for high-tech multimedia and language of his shows. But it works for the theater or opera, the singer Peter Gabriel the troupe Cirque du Soleil , the director and creator-notch, has credo

He wants ... "Telling stories with the language of modernity."

But ... "We must never forget that the origin of theater is a story around a campfire,
and the discovery of shadow on the walls of a cave.
is as simple and as beautiful as that. "

Robert Lepage has created and honed his device in the premises of his company, Ex Machina , installed in Quebec City, before transferring to New York rehearsals with liners and stuntmen. It states that ...

"Some singers themselves will waterfalls.
But there will be acrobats, so this,
hopefully contribute to the abounding mystery of the show. "

What will be the place of acting in this impressive machinery high tech? Renaud request of Machar World .

"Everything will be technically resolved before the arrival of the singers.
But their corporeality, their musicianship will live poetically these processes.
I will not engage in themselves, far from it, but I want to be surprised and let express
decisive part of this incarnation of invention "

" Research in Computer Science have developed a visual equivalent to the transformation of its real-time practice as research laboratories musical. Now, the machines allow us to unleash an element of chance, of spontaneous invention. Thus, movements, silence and sound density singers, who never quite similar from one representation to another, they affect Live images projected ... "

" The living remains the main engine of electronic game ... "

This Ring is a very serious matter, in every sense of the term for this festival about fifteen hours of music, Lepage has created a scenic structure that required the Met strengthens in extremis part of its shelf to accommodate the enormous machinery that controls it through a forest of computers, writing Renaud Machar. Never mind the Met has not skimped, it has granted an extension 'budget to cover additional costs for the installation of machinery (dear, dear).


Tetralogy This will only setting a device of very high technology consisting of lath, it may at the discretion of the staging, turning into various architectures (wall, stairs, incline, forest , spin, flying carpet, etc..) on which the characters exist in an unreal way. The "skin" of the monster in constant metamorphosis is "tattooed" by electronic light projections.

"The preparation and automation have given a lot of trouble with my staff"
But ... "There is no question of making a technological matter, but poetic."

"This new production is one of the most ambitious ever known home. I am confident of its success and that is the epitome of theatrical invention that Wagner would have been proud! "We told Mr. Gelb during the first technical rehearsal at the Met, August 10. A few days later, the figures in the rental gave him reason: representations of Rheingold were complete and ticketing beat all records. (Interview by Renaud Machar)

Source: Robert Lepage passed Wagner in the digital age, newspaper article World by Renaud Machar, who ends his article with that sentence, Please note that: "No doubt that the dragon Fafner's cave like no other, and we see that there's fire."

School Netball In Knickers

times crossed - Michelle Grangaud / Beach weather - Christian Prigent / Extracts. Poetry.

It just appeared to POL Publishing. collections poetry. I have chosen for you and me, 4 poets. Today, I present two of these collections: the Michelle Grangaud, Times crossed, and that of Christian Prigent , Beach weather. The couple is the theme common to texts of poems that I present in this gray, rainy day, what the sunshine. A man, a woman, tralala ... a flirt ... Well no, you're not ... So that we understand, we rely on what was said my friend Le Petit Robert : couple just Cople (1190), which comes from Latin copula , meaning " link, link .

"What is conceived well is expressed clearly, and the words to say it come easily"
Nicolas Boileau, Art poetic , 1674

You hear me coming with my beautiful shoes ... In Michelle Grangaud couples are Bimota (noun + adjective) that resemble their date of appearance in the French language; Christian Prigent, for its part, the link with the weather and the beach. The authors 'hidden' which I will be surprised also speaks of the couple, but their way ... You'll see!

Michelle Grangaud THE CROSS OVER TIME, POL, 176 pages

"Reclassifying the words of the French language (ideally: all words) in order appear in writing,
is the goal that I pursue, now, and which provides a pleasant walk through time. "
Michelle Grangaud
The magnificent historical dictionary of Alain Rey , published in 1998-and that I have in print Bible-a real treasure! - , Is the foundation upon which all of the work presented in Time crossed has been achieved.
It turns out that what Oulipians call the Bimota (noun + adjective) are very present in this dictionary, dated, and in sufficient quantity to make it possible to draw any form of poems " elementary moral "form invented by Raymond Queneau in the last years of his life, and specifically visual form. Form designed for silent reading (eyes only, with any spare inner ear), reading more than collected another. The basic moral
presented here are vintage , like wine, that is to say that for every all the words that are used (except for function words, articles, prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliary verbs, etc..) originate from one and the same year, at times, but exceptionally few years (ten at most, usually two or three) are combined to form one poem.
The language appears for what it is always a delicious thought. This work centuries of the French language, almost entirely anonymous collective and elsewhere, has undoubtedly, like all other languages is a charming overkill.

Historical Dictionary of French by Alain Rey, Le Robert, 1998.
Michelle Grangaud therefore chosen words in the dictionary by Alain Rey, depending on their date of appearance in the French language to put them into a poem, inspired by the form fixed by Queneau invented in 1975. Examples of couples:
"Verge virile" and "Sovereign Pontiff" (1509),
"Fertile Mind" and "secret disease" (1558-1559)
"nonsense" and "Man of Letters" (1580),
"Critical History" and "Idea Fugitive" (1677-1678)
"occult sciences" and "sinister Mine" (1690),
"Salivary Glands" and " Filet Mignon "(1718),
" Alliteration "and" Salt sedative "(1751),
" historical novel "and" Hurly-burly "(1763-1764),
" Public Education "and" Phallus shameless "(1791) ,
"chemical knowledge" and "Insanity" (1801),
"Heckling Night" and "magnetic waves" (1834),
"Proportional" and "Funeral Symphony" (1839-1840),
"Father Christmas" and "Expo" (1855),
"artificial language" and "crazy herb" (1890),
"poison gas" and "Oedipus Complex" (1916-1917),
"narcolepsy" and "Europe Galante" (1925-1927),
"Brothel" and "semiskilled worker" (1931),
"Nudist Camp" and "objective genitive" ( 1933

If you see some couples scroll arm in arm, some puzzling, to view nose, of course .. In the year 1509 ... How odd couple, is not it?

Extracts

Command And Conquer Kane Wizard Was Interrupted

Archives of literary life under occupation. Through the disaster - RO Paxton, O. Corpet, C. Paulhan / Olivier Flat - The Foundation

What was in the context of France from 1939-1945, the attitude of the players in the intellectual life , writers, journalists, publishers, printers, screws -à-vis the occupier? To answer this question with acuity, Robert O. Paxton, Olivier Corpet, Claire Paulhan have scanned archives. Over 650 pieces archives, photographs, letters, manuscripts, clippings, documents bureaucratic, derived primarily from the collections of the Institute Memoirs Contemporary Publishing (IMEC ) the New York Public Library , the National Library of Quebec , we detail the various aspects of France during the six long years that preceded the fall of the Third Reich.

searched in an article, titled simply " Archives of literary life under occupation " Flat Olivier delivers a detailed and thorough account of book of the three authors quoted Robert O. Paxton, Olivier Corpet, Claire Paulhan a book whose title Archives of literary life under occupation. Through the disaster . Instead, paraphrase the excellent article by Oliver Platt, dated summer 2009 -model review, in my opinion I give it to you to read. essentially. You'll learn amazing things, and you'll surely want as I read the book in question. (Highlighting is mine).

Archives of literary life under occupation by Olivier Flat
"In his light introduction, Robert Paxton reminds us of the characteristics of summer 1940, this "lost continent . Faced with the shock and dismay at the defeat, the father figure of the victor of Verdun was once seen as an appeal and the chance to take "a fresh start .

As such, the testimony of philosopher Paul Ricoeur (he temporarily joined the circle Petain "the POW camp where he was held) was quoted by the American historian, is enlightening:
" I owe the truth to say that until 1941, I was seduced, with others - the propaganda was
massive - some aspects of Petainism. I probably have turned against the Republic of the feeling of having participated in its weakness, feeling the need to redo a strong France. This was the case until we have received no information, as have not been affected by the BBC that, with the Gaullist camp, we could hear from the winter 1941-194 2.

The evolution of the system increases, a sudden change of attitude were frequent at that time: so Francois Mitterrand who, after having been a minor official under the Vichy government actively engages in the Resistance, or Paul Claudel, who thought he saw enough virtue in the "National Revolution " in 1940 to write the sound "Send the Marshal," which will not prevent it, a year later, to express to the Chief Rabbi of Paris " disgust, horror and indignation 'for how Vichy treated the Jews.

Few writers during this period opted for silence, following the example of Rene Char , to Andre Malraux or Michel Leiris s who in his diary mentions
" this true disease" men of letters "who can not conceive the opportunity to be quiet and that does not publish amounts to a kind of annihilation "

Jean Guéhenno meanwhile saddened that
" man of letters is not one of the largest human species. Unable to remain long concealed, he would sell his soul for his name appears . "

Rare
were also among them, the resistance of the first hour, as Jean Paulhan arrested in February 1942 as a member of the museum of man, and who would not save their lives thanks to the intervention Drieu Rochelle (seven comrades were shot Paulhan Mount Valerian).

They already seem far away, the Decades of Beine, where we saw the intellectuals of all countries, all opinions, conversing in the hedges. They also served as a refuge for exiles from Germany. [...]

A letter from Jean-Paul Sartre to Jean tells Paulhan's exploits meteorologist: "I loose balls as doves ... "He decided to write a diary of his" phony war ", despite the disgust he felt at this year:
" is a measure of health: I poured everything m 'War and inspire my condition as a soldier and so, having paid my debt to the news, my mind is free to write a novel is going very peacefully in 1938. "

In six short weeks, the French army was swept by the enemy. More than eight million French, Belgians, Dutch, are thrown on the roads. "


[...] The story of this exodus was delivered by Margaret Bloch," On the road with the people of France. June 12 to June 29, 1940 "I mentioned in my last blog. To read or reread this post, click here .

Olivier Dish continues
" Strange Paris in the year 1940, so year zero .

Photos surreal Parisians under the Occupation to us today : A gleaner in the garden of Tuileries (as he picks? ...), You would like to know a woman sitting on a stone bench, absorbed in reading his newspaper, a rooster is also on the bench and if one looks closer he sees a ball and chain. Robert Doisneau suggests much of what concerns the French in these times of restrictions: food. Gasoline has been requisitioned by the Germans, the "country France " environmentalist before his time, riding a bike as we watch an illustrated article in "the Almanac Hachette " we see advertisements also for the course Pigier " Hurry to learn German."

But the enemy for the occupier and the Vichy government, they are Jews, Freemasons, communists.
" Who will you be murdered? "proclaims a poster calling for a debate on Bolshevism organized by" patriotic farsighted . In the Wave of April 17, 1941, "The features of type Judaism," an article from " Montandon anthropologist " character found in Fable for another time Celine ... It is not just empty words ...

The French government completes slide into abject actively cooperating with the Nazis, sometimes even exceed their demands, by enacting various laws on the status of Jews, the first from October 3 1940. Two sheets yellowed, torn edges, an extract of the Official Journal retained by Irene Nemirovsky, author of the novel French Suite, which will be posthumously awarded a Prix Goncourt.
This is the article of October 4 which supplements the Act of October 3, giving prefects the authority to intern foreign Jews and who is concerned that too: by the French police arrested 13 July 1942, it will be directed Pithiviers and deported to Auschwitz in convoy No. 6 spot 809 men and 119 women.

" For my part, several years ago I saw what happened next, but the reality was responsible for more than what the darkest fantasy could have imagined. We have reached the bottom of the abyss. At least we now know that was wrong . "Wrote Henri Bergson Brunschvicg July 31, 1940.

Next a Sacha Guitry that in a book published in 1944 celebrates the eternal France of "Joan of Arc Philippe Petain ," calls the murder of a Brasillach or anti-Semitic diatribes of a Celine lists of banned books " Otto" and " Bernhard " of Propaganda-Staffel, the NRF "Aryanized" of Drieu , travel to Weimar to some French intellectuals and artists or vibrating speech Cocteau tribute to Arno Breker, the sculptor of Hitler, whose official news is complacently echo,

... ... there are these little pieces of paper that subvert the anonymous public space, abandoned on a bench, a coffee table, a desk job, " fine clarity between the fabric and skin "to paraphrase Jean Paulhan , an efflorescence of newspaper circulating in the mantle (over 1015 titles listed by the National Library of France )

Modeled Wrestling Singlets

Post On the road with the people of France. 12 to 20 June 1940 - Margaret Bloch / May 1940, the children of the exodus / Extracts - Video.

Having the continuity of ideas, I suggest you read on the train .... Whether you go to Poitiers or somewhere else, whatever your destination by train, the suggestion of Jerome Garcin-I make my own-take the rails ....
He writes: "This summer, if you go to Poitiers from Paris by TGV, count half past one. Time to read at leisure in this comfortable fleece that silence gives the speed, the incredible story of a woman thrown there seventy years on the long road exodus. Part walk from Paris, 12 June 1940, she arrived in Poitiers June 29 " (1)

Yes, this woman, Germaine Bloch, and many others, children, sick, infirm, old and" less old "... people from all social classes flee Paris during the German advance.

"She is pregnant with her daughter, Marianne, a German friend, a Flemish artist Frans Masereel-and-wife. It describes, day after day, the slow progress of their little group to the Loire by secondary roads. Through villages, shuttered and businesses closed. White nights in barns, rectories, under the stars. Blistered feet that heals the ointment Reclus. Hunger, thirst, confusion. And suddenly, the announcement of the signing of the armistice that crown in the countryside, a choreography of the absurd that they are overwhelmed witnesses: behind them, the seasoned German troops move south, before them, the French soldiers in rags going north, in the middle cohort endless frightened civilians including "the The strange silence [it] seems a scream ". Jérôme Garcin (1)

Who is Germaine Bloch?
Peter Largess e, historian, this way: "Margaret (1884-1975), born Herzog, a family of clothiers Alsatian, was the sister of Emile ( Andre Maurois ). At nineteen, she met Jean-Richard Bloch (1884-1947), Associate of young German novelist and future. They were married in 1907 and Elbeuf have five children. This Jewish family and fully participates in the communist intellectual and political life, she would be hit hard by war. " (2)

Wednesday, June 12, 1940, 21 h 30 . In his apartment in the Rue de Richelieu, Paris, Marguerite Bloch, [...] turns on the radio. The news is scary: "The enemy is stepping up its pressure on both sides of the capital." Could not sleep. The fear, of course. But also the noise. That guns in the distance. That people, especially, "she wrote (3) :

" People on foot with bundles, bags, suitcases; people cycling with loads quirky, people with strollers, handcarts, and top, middle packages, children, their toys, sometimes an old woman "

Jewish and communist as well say ... in danger of death, she and her family. The Bloch fear, rightly, to be arrested by the Nazis. Margaret will then flee Paris with her daughter and friends, while her husband fled from his side. It seeks to join home at Poitiers, she will succeed. Indeed, his daughter Margaret and Jean-Richard found in their house in La Mérigotte in Poitou. With the help of the Soviet embassy, the couple Bloch left France for the Soviet Union April 15, 1941, he returned to France a few years later.

"On the road with the people of France. 12 to 20 June 1940 "Simply
originally signed" A French , "the story of Marguerite Bloch just been published. "Claire Paulhan , great editor of untraceable, unearthed this manuscript in the archives of his grandfather, Jean Paulhan, the boss of the NRF, which had also found "poignant" and "sober". But he never appeared. [...]. History is a model line, "writes Jerome Garcin.

"The story these days is chaotic confirmed by historical studies Marc Bloch (the Strange Defeat), Claude Willard, Robert O. Paxton or Olivier Wieviorka, "says historian Peter Largesse.
For her part, Irene Nemirovsky paints a touching portrait and realistic, this exodus of June 1940 in his novel "French Suite" which upset me deeply.

Here are some excerpts from the book by Marguerite Bloch.
"Orleans was still far away. But we were anxious to get there. When I say we, I mean all of us, these thousands and thousands of people who, like us, hoping to find a job, trains, supplies, and without doubt - an idea less clear but perhaps dominant - the army assembled on the Loire and finally forming wall between the enemy rushing at full speed of his motorized forces and the people of France, driven from their homes. "

"Without fear of the bombing, that no longer find anything to eat, mothers, old people would not have begun to flee, often without knowing where to go ... It has created a complete disorganization ... Incapacity, of course, but will be separated especially. Deliver the army of the enemy probably was not enough, he also had to deliver the people and in a state of moral and material abandonment that left him totally helpless. How many of these poor fugitives thought to Spain? They think only the present moment. From, away from the fire area, take refuge in a quiet corner. A young woman in front of a bakery wants to death and passion to Daladier in Munich ... I agree with his sense for Czechoslovakia. It's about time! Running the day, running at night under the sun and the airplanes; with children, old people, dogs and caged birds, yes, all that you can endure, but we must regain strength. The military authorities could not supply it at the same time, the retreating soldiers and civilians caught up in this retreat? No, nothing. Their chorus was all: there has not been beaten, there was very keep well, we were betrayed if one has folded, is in order, our defeat was due. "

"To say we have seen so many films of refugees on the roads ... but nothing, not anything that was approaching. Not only the road but the aisles are filled and the sidewalk. Large commercial trucks, mid-military trucks, hitches peasants, passenger cars of all models, all ages, and motorcyclists, and bicyclists, strollers and a collection of the most improbable; handcarts pulled by man and supporting furniture , children, the grandmother's legs dangling, Small cars containing children up to three children and packages most crooked, or no children at all and all the riches of the family - but mostly pedestrians loaded, crushed beneath the bags, bales, bags and forcing a passage through the vehicles, tense crowd, who only thinks ahead, only to flee, head down, and, most impressive, completely silent. "

The exodus of the Belgians, in May 1940, will precede that of French in June 1940.
testimony that engage women and men as children, but now older winces, and the images that accompany their stories we live are its painful moments of the Second World War. At
heart-wrenching. This old man who tells it was 10 years old in 1940 - have seen the smile of a bomber pilot just before he drops the bomb on him and his father. His father was beheaded and he was sucked in and found himself in the crater of the bomb. Badly wounded, a German doctor and took care saved his life ...
All evidence is not as pathetic, but witnesses abound in the same direction: it is at this tender age they lost their childhood, they have become adults ...
Haro on life thieves, thieves of childhood!

Thus in addition to my post, I invite you to see this documentary in 10 episodes on YouTube, entitled:
"May 1940, children of the exodus" .

is the first episode. A touching story page.

Tawnee Stone Look-a-likes

News. Chevaillier - Ray - Wachill - Venaille - Romaris / White Collection, Gallimard. Poetry.

I could title my blog "On a park bench in summer, because the fine weather - Ah! the heyday - are there for a good while yet. I might as well call it "waiting room, in the fall," because ... we know why, do not insist. To read this wooden bench or on the plastic chair, nothing beats a book of poetry. You read a poem or a piece of poem, then let you trot in your head, nose in the air ... to admire the scenery or to let-excuse me, madam, pardon. sir, for supporting the "confusion of voices." Try it, you'll see "it works". A novel, a story, essay ... is to travel by train. Exactly, in my next blog, I will propose a story to read on the train ... or at home.

I delved into the White Collection Gallimard new. Here they are, in order of reading:
[] Chevaillier Louis, a young poet who seduces us with her imagination with its "trance Icarus";
[] Lionel Ray, who suggests the harmonious sounds of his words in "Between Night and solei the "
[] Hassam Wachill we play musical scores in "The Shore wandering "
[] Venaille Franck, large Walker and poet, recognized as a "smuggler of emotions and challenges" gives us his incomparable singing in "The Descent of Lescaut";
[] Romanès Alexander, in a naive style, gives his thoughts and trace tables anchored in daily life, family life, near death, in " On the shoulder of the angel " with a foreword by Christian Bobin
Here then, for each of these books, abstracts and reviews.

Louis Chevaillier - Icarus trance
¬ ¬ __ Metro
"The Metropolitan
he pitches and I think I see this confusion of voices swell and turn

to believe that only those who read

are dumb if d Other défrisent
is the shadow of a city on the temples of the Nile where the eye
racy
flies to other vines
at the right times is such that the flood
I do not remember thinking. "
ICARUS IN TRANCE, White Collection, Gallimard, 72 pages, 2010.

comment.
"... The Thinker" by Rodin sneezes and underground pitches on the Nile. The city has no borders, but continues to Dakar, Brasilia, Essaouira, Ankara. Pigalle Montparnasse, Louis Chevaillier through the capital like a mirror. It is a very sad heir, very funny, surreal. "
" If Paris is the eye / how long are the eyelashes. Trance assured. "Jerome Garcin, BibliObs (1)


Lionel Ray - Between night and sun

¬ ¬ __ first extract
"Here I am again among the scattered words ,
Is the center, outside, on the outskirts?
I do not know who I am, know themselves
Or do not know, but still pursuing them

In my stubborn way, I measure one
At the other that valuable time has passed,
A time never to return. And I like a blind
I am someone who seeks a world

Away. It is still early. The sun has not yet
put his claws soft light on the page

And I hardly distinguishes vowels and consonants,
These phrases are like me and sometimes
Move away out to me, scattering here and there a star or dust
Nothing, just shadows that do not recognize. "

Lionel Ray - Between night and sun
¬ ¬ __ second extract
"... a voice suddenly as close to the horizon
perfection of oblivion is the touch of an invisible fire
this thread unknown empire thirsts
your voice like a touch of Fern is a dream where
die without any injury to himself the real seems to have been invented
this morning with refinements of primroses
this cool white inexplicable manner second life
a shoreline where we just lose his shadow once and for all

your voice oh my mirror my dance my opera. "
BETWEEN NIGHT AND SUN, White Collection, Gallimard, 112 pages, 2010.

Commentary and extract.
"Listen to finally swish harmonics Lionel Ray, on the pace a bit lame that reminds us Armen Lubin, Claude Pirotte, The Express (2) :
¬ ¬ __ Between night and sun
" This hour alone in the summer twilight :
we hear already more than a noise of keys.
Words change, sand more shine, no haze
or otherwise reflect the voice.
Words change and basic window
worried the extra silence that penetrates.
dust forever, is it a god who sleeps in the memory
strange dawn? Or
years later
back from having lost the light path?
Winter is near and its sweetness is beyond
and night turns into me giddily.
The beauty hangs from the rope
as a body worn, groaning. "


Wachill Hassam - The Wandering Shore


"I hear your breathing
on the roof of my
laugh ... so close ... no fear
and see through the large window
the station one afternoon ...
Later, promises the gray
deep over
glass and tracery
scrap through which I see
grasslands in the sky.
WANDERING THE SHORE, White Collection, Gallimard, 104 pages, 2010.

Commentary and extracted .
"And then what about the work of Wachill Hassam, except that the music permeates and transcends it. Claude Pirotte, The Express (2) :
¬ ¬ __ The shore A voice wandering
follows a line with sentences that only she must bear
, we believe it will go out among the trunks
slender, it will go away in solitude
grass with black brush is
then it becomes more nostalgic
but without becoming a mere ornament, the melody still very pure. It seems
wrap the earth in which it is output as
to swallow in its melody
as a mother who wants to bless the work lost
spoofed by early spring torrents.


Franck Venaille - The descent of the Scheldt


Presentation.
"With The Descent of the Scheldt, Franck Venaille stands closest to the land, banks, the country he's emblem. He walks between France and Belgium, is dreaming, wanting, is revealing "Flemish". Venaille's voice, urgent, sharp, jerky, eddies or slow drifts, gradually changing a painful experience, one for murder in a wide vocal control. Polyphonic rhythms that welcomes all to lead the most worthy and most relentless quest, The Descent of the Scheldt itself as a major work. There is, digging in the depths of terror, a word full of nobility which, with one voice, knows how to create challenge and tenderness.
"sarcastic, desperate, violent, cold and brittle, Franck Venaille heard since his first collection of 60s, a singular voice, even in solitary expression of brotherhood. First poet "living in revolt," the cry in the form of exorcism, Venaille then became a writer of conscience. The spontaneous eruption, walk behind several screens and write accesses to the labyrinth, the inner process that renders hollow strips and simultaneously obscures. Each poem, each story are being invested scrupulous obsessions, phrases brutally stamped, and put the meaning to live and feel alarm.
But in Venaille, rehashing the tragic distrusts the trappings of tragedy, he turned instead to the savage irony, like a sudden stab, and the antics tinted semen and blood. Especially, the arrangement of sentences, the scansion of poetry, the writing profession that almost ritualized, it can choose its territories and to invent his own language.
From source to mouth, it follows the river, he followed his river, his poem. Literally and step by step, he composed a "Poem river" who keeps his ear to the echoes of Maurice Maeterlinck :
" Perhaps diseases, sleep and death are parties deep, mysterious and misunderstood of the flesh . THE DESCENT OF
SCHELDT followed TRAGIC, preface by Jean-Baptiste Para Collection Poésie / Gallimard, 320 pages, 2010. (3)

Comment and extracts.
"A man walks obstinately along a slow river, the hills of Artois in the North Sea. In this rite of passage "into the crack of the world" was born a vast and sublime poem, The Descent of the Scheldt (Obsidiane 1995), which could be a drunk or a boat Prose of the Transsiberian our time. (...)
From upstream to downstream, first and foremost a journey of nearly five hundred kilometers through the towpaths, docks and warehouses.
" Walker, O sentinel / what do you think of the night? / Pops Anchor / Complaints barns open on the water. / Walker, O night watchman / Who is this man 's activating near the fire? "
But the traveler, the "wanderer" loner - a "refractory happiness" which also works to get to know - Questions the meaning of this redemptive work:
" What I want does not equate to beauty. What I receive is like the river of grace." "

" Fougue black and asceticism. In this large beautifully mastered song, "the tone Venaille" is necessary, beyond the poetic forms and rhythms more varied. It is, closer to the breath, a writing from the depths, as the maelstrom came with his vehemence and his silent cries.
But the poem is punctuated by numerous citations highlight, Emile Verhaeren, Hugo Claus, Henri Michaux and especially in the heart of the book, it, of Maurice Maeterlinck : "It may be that diseases, sleep and death are parties deep, mysterious and misunderstood of the flesh." could also detect the influence of painting or Permeke Ensor. (...). Monique Petillon, The World of Books. (4)


Alexander Novels - On the shoulder of the angel


Preface. "See Alexander novel is about the ordeal of the greatest spiritual nakedness. Just a voice and especially the tone of his voice: a string lute pinch up the bones, which lute he played in his youth. The dead must speak with the same sweetness deaf and without reproach. A reading is like going through a tear. This tear the poet refuses to pay because the deep humanity of his book. It is water, that's all, and a little salt brilliant. In the last part of the book, there is air. We reached the house of resurrections. Sweetness unmixed, so pure that it shattered the glass of death. It is the silence which now holds the book in his hands. " Christian Bobin
