Written by four hands between Montreal, Quebec and the Magdalen Islands, this collection is a true collaborative work. "Il fait bleu" is the story of a poetic encounter between two women who soon became sisters. Through the exchange of language and poetry, at first, their voices merge to say what, from a single body, seeks anchorage. What is a house? This seemingly banal question eventually opens up to existential themes such as sisterhood, identity and friendship.
tu m’apprends
l’autocueillette
le silence
cette langue que je me refuse
et tu accueilles
tout ce qui hurle
dans mon portique un déluge
tu ne t’éloignes pas
