For this edition, the magazine Estuaire has chosen to invite poets who gravitate or have gravitated around sex work to write on the theme of sexualities. "We have tamed sexuality as a unique and sometimes violent truth, which condemns and suffocates by dint of not allowing what blurs it. A truth or a choreography that moves the bodies in order to erase them. Sexuality has become a silence. There are indeed some words [...] [that] could have expressed the pleasure that bodies find in exploring themselves, alone or with others, but they serve, too often, to impose verdicts. [...] Sexuality is not only this heavy heritage. It is everything that escapes it. (from the presentation) With poems by Julie Bard, Marie-Paule Grimaldi, Iris Grondin, Patricia Houle, Mélopée B. Montminy, Mélodie Nelson, Azucena Pelland, Pénélope, Emmanuelle Riendeau, Nina Shulman and Maude Veilleux.
