Rubans et Turbans

Rubans et turbans : Iran, la jeunesse contre les mollahs par Armin Arefi Rubans et turbans : Iran, la jeunesse contre les mollahs par Armin ArefiLe 12 juin 2009, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a remporté l'élection présidentielle iranienne au terme d'un scrutin entaché de fraudes. La suite : douze mois de révolte et d'espoir comme le pays n'en avait jamais connus. Ce livre donne la parole à ceux qui ont vécu les événements au plus près : les jeunes Iraniens armés de simples rubans verts à leurs poignets en défi aux turbans des mollahs.

Rockeurs engagés, étudiants frivoles, féministes intrépides, chauffeurs de taxi désabusés et même miliciens bassidjis sont les acteurs de cette histoire parfois drôle, souvent tragique - à l'image du peuple iranien. Armin Arefi nous invite à faire leur connaissance au début de la campagne électorale, ces quelques jours de liberté qui ont vu une vague verte submerger l'ensemble du pays, avec au menu des danses endiablées, des foulards à terre...

Stand

Divine Alchemy

James P. WestJames P. WestWhat precious metal now is being wrought?
This day when all is dark as pitch or coal
The truth of life, is this the prize yet sought
Or have long years eclipsed that human goal.

Cold irony so many should have died
Forsaking life, with faith in virtuous laws,

New Day

Selected Poems by James P. West (New Release)Selected Poems by James P. West (New Release)The rising sun that lights the sea
And warms each mile so gradually
Lies hidden from our mortal sight
But none the less dispels the night.

And so God's word with brilliant force
Though few at first discern the source
Has burst upon the sea of men
And lit the future once again.

I See

Betty HoubionBetty HoubionMoon rose up
over half Mother Earth,
filtered light upon
the prairie seed, and
in the winter blue of night,
she called my name.

The Pages of our Lives

Maria ChouchtariMaria ChouchtariHow does one index the pages of our lives?
Do we put it in alphabetical order
Or by sentiments, like love?
Does it really need to be cataloged, have an author, an editor or a page setting,
A Guru, priest or a publisher, an ISBN code reference, a proof reader, some graphics?

Ask Me

Betty HoubionBetty HoubionAsk me about the beautiful bird formation
at the beach yesterday,
 
of how eighty to one hundred birds
flew in elongated intertwining ribbons,
 
formations from south to north
along the berm of  shore,

Look with the heart

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye
.”

Só se vê bem com o coração.
O essencial é invisível para os olhos.


"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur.
L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
