Cécile Coulon opens the doors to her world, where the ghosts of childhood rub shoulders with the sweetness of stolen moments and the joy of the little things of everyday life. As time passes, it gives way to uncertainty and absence. Gentleness and love become two essential companions. As for memories, they persist through landscapes and beloved places.
In her poems, she accurately captures emotions and feelings, and manages to preserve the present moment.
Since writing her first book at seventeen years old,
Cécile Coulon never ceases to surprise and amaze us. In just a few years, she has produced six novels, including Trois saisons d’orage, winner of the Prix des libraires, and a collection of poems (Prix Apollinaire 2017).
Her novel, A Beast in Paradise (Une bête au paradis, L’Iconoclaste, August 2019), was awarded the Prix littéraire Le Monde in 2019.
The first editions of Les Ronces sold over 50,000 copies. A real phenomenon in the poetry world.
A new collection with great sensitivity and accuracy, reminding us of the need to love and enjoy every moment of life.
