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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Évelyne Trouillot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42963944112246,"sku":"9781938890314","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_da196137-bffb-4e31-9126-0d39ef313509.jpg?v=1767869315","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/blue-flare-three-contemporary-haitian-poets-9781938890314","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
