ABOUT BONJOUR POÉSIES
“S’il-te-plaît, peux-tu m’écrire la première poésie que tu aurais aimé lire enfant ?”
Thirteen female poets responded in this illustrated collection for young and old alike.
Their voices resonate and clash to create a powerful, contemporary choral book. Each poem, illustrated by Clémence Monnet, offers a unique vision of the world.
Perhaps because the writing returns to the subject of childhood, it inevitably deals with the self, the other, transmission, and dreams. A collection that makes poetry accessible.
ABOUT DES FOURMIS QUI GIGOTENT
Des fourmis qui gigotent is a delicate, tender and cheerful look at the passage of time and the relationship between a granddaughter and her grandmother. A poetic narrative triptych illustrated by Valérie Linder's subtle watercolors.
Born in Charleroi in 1979, Ludivine Joinnot published her first collection, Nous vivons encore, in May 2022 in the If Collection edited by Antoine Wauters at Abrapalabra (formerly l’Arbre à Paroles).
