Terminus ventre-ville

Description

In this collection, the bountiful harvest of an accomplished poet, Alain Raimbault bears witness to the urgency to speak to who we are, at the heart of the city.

In a generous and easily accessible style that deeply moves with its sincerity, this author, adept at haiku and the noir novel, observes everyday actions that seem trivial. Yet, with his precision and sensitivity, these quotidian observations propel the reader into a reflection on geographical space, their relationship to the world, and the relationship between language and reality.

Terminus ventre-ville invites us to visit unusual spaces and delve into the undergrounds of Montreal. From these unusual places—snow-covered parking lots, metro corridors, construction sites, public spaces, buses—emerges a poetic project that contributes to rebuilding our humanity.
