![Juliette Rousseau, Péquenaude](https://prod.trames.xyz/assets/img/couvertures/_livreCouverture/133401/9782366249170_Pequenaude-COUV.jpg)
Following the success of La vie têtue, Juliette Rousseau continues to explore the links between body and territory. As a woman and a rural dweller, she revisits what it means to inhabit a troubled history and territory, where gender, class and environmental violence combine to give substance to bodies and land.
In a narrative form that borrows its structure from the seasons, she weaves together poetic and reflective texts on a variety of themes: rurality, the heritage of peasantry, industrialization, the relationship with living things, traditions, transmission, language and class issues.
Questioning her position as a writer-poet and hillbilly, Juliette Rousseau continues to forge a powerful, moving language to capture what binds us to the land, its beauty and its violence.
