About this book

"Alaska politics and folklore often collide on the edge of the wild. But, it is more than a mystery when an outbreak crashes down at the intersection of civilation and the wilderness in the stunnng Matanuska-Susitna region of Southcentral Alaska. Abruptly, the world's media spotlight begins to shine on the locals and their unique lifestyles. Heightened scrutiny reveals the buzz of both madness and sanity. Set in the small Alaskan towns of Palmer, Wasilla, and Moose Cross, 'Alaska's Heavy Light' tells the universal 'little story' about local people, politics, and place. Mountains and media are essential characters in this story. Community chaos, conflict, and commentary unravel as the crazy, local political theater dramatizes the personal face of disaster."

The art of pausing

Judith Valente

"The poems and reflections in The Art of Pausing: Meditations for the Overworked and Overwhelmed are the work of three writers who inhabit very different worlds. But for each, the reading and writing of haiku is an essential spiritual practice. The Art of Pausing is built upon haiku by one of the three authors, all Christians, inspired by the ninety-nine names of God found in the Koran. Each haiku is accompanied by a reflections by the same author or an abstract photo of nature by Brother Paul. This book is for anyone who loves beauty, has a penchant for reflection, yet feels overworked and overwhelmed."--Amazon.com.

Flic

Denise Surprenant

Un examen attentif sous les trois tertres où étaient semées les légumineuses n'a donné aucun résultat, si ce n'est qu'on y a trouvé en creusant, les corps s'appareillant aux têtes de la cuvette. Mais pas le moindre haricot, ni gros, ni moyen, ni petit. Découragés par un échec de cette envergure, les fermiers se seraient-ils enlevé la vie? Flic étudia soigneusement l'hypothèse d'un suicide collectif. Des suicidés, les statistiques sont là pour le prouver, se coupent la tête de la nuque à la gorge. Les appendices ainsi sectionnés tombent face première dans le réceptacle prévu à cet effet et on les retrouve pile. Or, les têtes Binoche vous regardaient droit dans les yeux. D'ailleurs, le fait que les corps eussent été enterrés affaiblissait encore la thèse du suicide sans pourtant la détruire complètement. --[Memento].
