CHoeur
Je serai tout au long de ma vie
de deux rives,
de deux continents,
de deux mondes,
comme les lèvres d'une plaie ouverte.

Vous m'avez accueilli un jour
et j'ai saisi la chance à bout de bras.
J'ai peiné.

J'ai pleuré.
Je veux rire et vivre maintenant.
J'ai reçu.
Je donnerai.
Nommez votre combat
et j'en serai....

For those learning French, this would...

The presence of such genres in women's writing, however, poses a rich and unique body of work. This volume examines the texts of Francophone women who have experienced or reflected upon the experience of transnational...
