Tiffky Doofky


Book Description

A la fin de sa tournée comme éboueur, Tiffky s'arrête chez la diseuse de bonne aventure. La boule de cristal révèle "qu'avant le coucher du soleil, il tombera amoureux de celle qu'il épousera". Tiffky se demande où il rencontrera l'élue... à la décharge municipale? au pique-nique du Club huile et vinaigre? Confiant dans la magie, il oublie le sort que peut lui jeter la vieille poule, cette fée malfaisante. Heureuse conjugaison du texte et de l'illustration qui traduit avec finesse le côté drôle et naïf de l'aventure.




Last Pawn Shop in New Jersey


Book Description

Finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize With Last Pawn Shop in New Jersey, James Hoch gives readers a heart-lugged romp and a work of resistance, conversing with the interstices of public and personal histories and identities in the context of ecological deterioration. Drawing on emotional experiences prompted by his brother’s going to war in Afghanistan, the death of his mother from ovarian cancer, and the raising of his sons, Hoch investigates the difficulty of loving and of making beauty in times of crisis when faced with knowledge of its limitations and necessity. Lyrical and meditative, intense and intimate, his poems evoke landscapes with views of the New York water supply system, industrialization along the Hudson River, and the geology of the Palouse in the Pacific Northwest. A bare-knuckled argument for the sublime in the context of war and environmental degradation, Last Pawn Shop in New Jersey asserts the redemptive power of art as survival.
