	Le cahier violet	by Mathieu Larouche Froté Dec. 03, 2009	$8.35	13325 words	Sample 50%
	Author bio: Mathieu Larouche Froté est né en 1978 à Chicoutimi, au Québec. Il passa la première année de son enfance en Suisse, d’où lui vient son patronyme, dans la petite ville de Porrentruy. Il voyagea par la suite jusqu’à l’âge quatre ans, visitant notamment les Îles Canaries, New York, avant de s’installer à Montréal, puis fréquentera l’école Rudolf Steiner avant de suivre sa mère et son beau-père à Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures. Au tout début de l’adolescence, il découvre alcool et drogues, expériences qui viendront peupler un imaginaire assoiffé d’onirisme, affamé d’autres horizons, nourri déjà par les livres, fidèles compagnons de toujours. Cette voie psychédélique se termine abruptement, et une nuit de 1996 une faille s’ouvre, des policiers interviennent dans le petit appartement de Sillery – ses blessures lui vaudront quelques semaines à l’hôpital, quelques mois derrières les barreaux à Orsainville, et pour finir au Lac Frontière, dans une maison de thérapie. Là, une rencontre décisive avec Dieu l’orientera, dès sa sortie, vers la quête intérieure. Il abandonnera vite le cégep, voyant peu à peu s’écrouler les ponts avec les anciens amis, et l’écriture donnera un sens à sa vie. Depuis tourments et éblouissements se succèdent. Il mène une vie plutôt en marge du monde, tentée par le silence, obsédée par son humanité. Il occupe de petits emplois dans le vieux Québec – passant de plongeur à cuisinier, d’un chic restaurant français à une pizzeria, avant de s’en tenir à sa balayeuse et de parcourir à temps partiel les couloirs de l’hôtel le plus photographié au monde. Il prévoit maintenant un tour du monde. Ses poésies paraissent trois ans après son premier livre, un recueil de nouvelles. Sa plume porte le discours d’une identité en crise.

As it seems that nothing they do works out to there own benefits, as they're constantly stuck in shitty life situations constantly being put down and all hope and wishes of ever getting out of the shitty living condition constantly gets dimmer.
	Combien de lieux, combien de temps	by David Karape Aug. 18, 2009	$8.40	8241 words	Sample 30%
	Author bio: David Karape est un auteur de 38 ans d'origine arménienne. Ce n’est que cette année qu’il s’est installé avec sa famille au Canada. Il habite à Toronto. Suivant des études d’économie, il travaille aujourd'hui en tant que conseiller financier pour différentes organisations. Malgré qu’il ait depuis longtemps un vif intérêt pour la littérature et spécialement pour la poésie francophone, il a commencé à écrire des poèmes en français il y a environ trois ans. Son premier recueil de poèmes « Vagabondage des chimères » a été récemment publié. Ses poèmes sont frappants et surprenants. Un voyage, un questionnement, une révolution pour revenir à la vie... Mais aussi des cauchemars, des rêves et des fantasmes qui se mêlent en mots torturés. Ses poèmes ont une certaine tristesse. La tristesse des marées noires. Parfois le choix de ses mots dégage une poésie inouïe et inattendue. Une histoire pourtant banale peut se transformer sous sa plume en un conte fabuleux. Étranges poèmes qui fascinent par l'idée et déroutent par la forme. Grâce à l’effet de style, c’est une écriture inhabituelle comme si elle était traduite d'une autre langue. L’auteur espère que les lecteurs adopteront ce style un peu brutal, quand les mots claquent, empilés, et disent si fort l'émotion.

	C'est ça la vie !	by Francine Minville May 08, 2009	$7.80	5052 words	Sample 35%
	Author bio: En 1980, alors qu’elle n’avait que 17 ans, Francine Minville s’est aventurée dans la ville de Puerto Rico pour y travailler au sein d’une équipe québécoise de parc d’attraction « Les Amusements spectaculaires ». En 1982, lors de son cours de coiffure à l’école de coiffure masculine GVL, elle fut approchée pour coiffer les acteurs sur le plateau de tournage du film « Les Plouffes ». En 1984, elle participa au concours « Miss Montréal » où elle remporta le prix pour le défilé de mode en maillot de bain. Deux ans plus tard elle prit un cours de cinéma à l’Académie de théâtre et cinéma de Montréal. Par cette intermédiaire, elle a tenu le rôle principal dans le film « Creasy Weekend » du producteur James P. Blakes de la Californie. Par la suite, elle fut modèle pour le magazine de mode Marie-Pier. En 1987, elle a travaillé à titre de chorégraphe pour les défilés de mode et spectacles à l’Académie Marie Papillon et en 1989, elle fut finaliste pour le concours d’hôtesse de l’émission télévisée « La roue de chanceuse » à la télévision Quatre saisons. Pendant plus d’un an, elle fut bénévole auprès de personnes atteintes du Sida. Depuis 1990, Francine Minville occupe un poste d’agente de bureau à la Commission scolaire de Montréal. Elle a publié aux éditions Dédicaces son premier recueil de poésie « C’est ça la vie ! ». Au départ, Francine Minville prenait sa plume afin d’atténuer sa colère face à toute l’injustice dans ce monde. Prônant la justice depuis son plus jeune âge, elle ne pouvait concevoir de telles différences entre les peuples, les riches et les pauvres et de toute cette violence perpétuelle. Elle écrivait plusieurs textes ainsi pour les jeter par la suite et recommençait à nouveau jusqu’au jour où elle décida d’en faire des écrits formels. Depuis, l’écriture fait partie de sa vie.
