Marie-Célie Agnant addresses poverty, pain, death, but also the pleasures of passion. Maggy De Coster's concise and personal poems explore the world -- its nature, light, wind -- and, sometimes, political themes. Together, these poems navigate between an impulse to \"capture gently these moments of light\" (De Coster) and the very different insistence that we see how \"pain sits at ground level \/ at times charging like a beast\" (Agnant). The original poems in French and Haitian Kreyòl appear facing the English translations by Danielle LeGros Georges. Agnant is the 2023 Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e ?velyne Trouillot, Marie-C?lie Agnant, Maggy de Coster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zephyr Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781938890314","brand":"Zephyr Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42968929992841,"sku":"9781938890314","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_df08ec15-dba4-4113-83ff-176e2f839c08.jpg?v=1725946679","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/blue-flare-three-contemporary-haitian-poets-velyne-trouillot-marie-celie-agnant-maggy-de-coster-9781938890314","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
