WHERE, THE MILE END
Where, the mile end de Julie Morrissy, recueil de poésie
Ou quand le vent boréal souffle une influence sur le poète. Du premier poème ‘Steel skin’ où on y regarde un hiver qui s’étend de Dublin jusqu’au bord du Mississipi et encore, au second poème ‘Looped’ où le fil du nord laisse des traces de vent glacial. Pourtant, le dernier poème, ‘The mile end’ porte encore des traces de notre neige d’hiver entre le Québec et le Vermont.
