Ce livre réunit en version originale ainsi qu’en traduction une sélection de poèmes qui mettent en jeu les notions d’identité et d’altérité au Canada. S’y côtoient des textes d’auteurs des deux principales communautés linguistiques du pays, mais aussi de poètes autochtones ou migrants. La pluralité des voix, la diversité des lectures possibles et la richesse du matériau montrent bien que l’identité et l’altérité constituent un horizon ouvert, signe d’une société en évolution, donc bien vivante. -- Pluriel provides a composite snapshot, taken from a few particular angles, of the variety of poems written in Canada over the past few decades. In shaping this anthology the editors were attracted to the diverse cultural and social responses evident in the work of poets writing in English and French, both across Canada, and in particular in Quebec and other French-speaking regions of the country. Each poem is offered in its original language and in translation.

The ancient land of Esterevania is the source of simmering battle hostilities and festering rivalries between the rival clans of sub zero Tardan Nations and the sweltering hot climate of the Sheerak Reptile Species. An explosive story, which starts at the very outset with Lato a tall slender humanoid creature firing his new invention (a projectile launcher) at a rival group of Bukai Tardan enemies, the end result being the mutilation of a small hairy Bukai Warrior, who was splattered against an ice formation. This incident lit the fuse, and brought enevitable friction to the surface again. Orsov, the army commander of the Tardan Bukai and his pregnant wife Erith are eventually caught up in the fierce battles, which ensue. They finally reach an undersea kingdom called Virejus where their dream of a peaceful co—existence is brought in to sharp focus. ‘The Takus’ Fantasy Novel is a fast moving, energetic and cleverly constructed story, which brings the reader in to a vivid world of fantastic battles and simmering rivalries between the superior intellect of the Noron Humanoids and the diminutive long eared Bukai. If you want adventure and excitement, then this is the story for you.
