Avec une plume d'une précision et d'une méticulosité impressionnantes, l'autrice nous convie dans son premier recueil à un parcours en six parties au fil duquel se déploie une voix qui, peu à peu, arrive à s'exprimer avec force et sans maladresses. Le hoquet en pulpes évoque tant l'importance de prendre soin de soi que celle de confronter autrui, pour apprendre à mieux bâtir sa maison.

Chris Banks threads fire through the eye of his imagination, and the product is these poems born of whole cloth: surrealist meditations, modern ghazals and powerful narrative sonnets that are both alive and burning.

Le poème n'était pas pour Jacques Brault une question rhétorique ou seulement esthétique : il était indissociable de la vie, saisie dans tous ses aspects, les plus humbles, les plus quotidiens, comme les plus mystérieux. Ni vers ni prose, la poésie passait outre ces limites et circulait aussi librement dans ses essais o surgissaient ses « épiphanies pourvoyeuses de petite éternité ». Dans ses derniers ouvrages Chemins perdus, chemins trouvés,...
