Cécile Coulon’s poetry reflects childhood, everyday life, and the aspects of ourselves that reveal both our flaws and our strengths.
Les ronces evokes memories of scratched calves and torn clothes, but also of blackberries picked with your parents in the light of a summer day, as the start of the literary school year approaches. Between caresses and fangs, Cécile Coulon’s Les ronces invites us to take a walk around Raymond Carver’s house. Along the way, she encounters slipper sellers, slender dogs, and a stranger who offers a portion of French fries upon recognizing a novelist.
