Temps réel du poème

by Nicole Brossard

Nicole Brossard est née à Montréal en 1943. Poète, romancière et essayiste, elle aime dire : « Il faut protéger les circuits du cœur et de l’intelligence. » Elle a reçu les prix les plus prestigieux au Canada et, en France, le prix Benjamin-Fondane.
« Au fil des siècles / la langue force le corps à observer / la mort quelques débris aussi / les paradoxes remontent / à la surface le récit s'installe »
Temps réel du poème est la première anthologie personnelle de Nicole Brossard. Elle réunit ses poèmes les plus marquants ainsi que de nombreux inédits. À travers l'écriture, Nicole Brossard essaie de résoudre les énigmes de l'existence, de l'être humain et de saisir le frémissement du monde. Nicole Brossard joue avec les mots, la syntaxe, elle « trame la langue » afin de révéler une nouvelle présence au monde et l'intimité de l'être.

stumbled upon this book at a library in Quebec city and I absolutely loved it, this won't be my last Nicole Brossard read.

I still need a reread but the poems that made a huge impression on me was Le dos indocile des mots
