STRAY birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.

O TROUPE of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.

THE world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.

...this writing thing was some kind of magic trick I didn't yet understand... Nikki Grimes discovered the power of writing at the tender age of six, when, alone in her room, she poured her fears, anger, and tears onto a piece of paper - and felt sweet relief. Words and faith were her most enduring companions as life flung her headlong from one harrowing experience to the next through her childhood and teenage years. Words, spilled into notebook after...

She dwelt on the hillside by the edge of a maize-field, near the spring that flows in laughing rills through the solemn shadows of ancient trees. The women came there to fill their jars, and travellers would sit there to rest and talk. She worked and dreamed daily to the tune of the bubbling stream. One evening the stranger came down from the cloud-hidden peak; his locks were tangled like drowsy snakes. We asked in wonder, "Who are you?" He answered...

"Believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598, William Shakespeare's “The Merchant of Venice” is considered by some critics as one of his “problem plays.” The controversy over the work stems from its portrayal of the character Shylock, a rich Jewish moneylender. The stereotypical depiction of Jews as avaricious usurers was common to the drama of the Elizabethan period. The story centers on the love of Bassanio, a young Venetian nobleman,...

Une magnifique réflexion sur le corps, réceptacle de notre âme
Ce corps se garde bien d'oublier les coups
Les choses de terre humide
Les os plus amples à chaque pas
Alors que je vais penser dans des lieux qui se laissent prendre par l'odeur qui est moi et ouvrir par le sort des petits qui sont moi ou qui sont blancs de sang ou qui sont des rayons de livres derrière lesquels rien ne sera jamais abandonné.
Dans Le corps qui m'a...

Errance dans le brouillard autant que poésie furtive, sombre cavalcade autant que contemplation méditative. Littérature pleine de reflets et d'éclats, pamphlet, prose ou micro-nouvelle, les cadres n'existent plus entre ces pages et tout se fond dans les antagonismes comme dans les ententes que les mots trouvent entre eux. Des soleils et des lunes, des hurlements dans la nuit et des murmures au matin. De la vie avant tout, furieuse ou blessée,...
