Summary:
"We knew very little with any certainty. One thing, though, was confirmed by everyone: that we were not the only ones flooded. For all we knew, every city across the globe had suffered a comparable fate." As an unnamed city finds itself partially submerged below water, a small community of friends and lovers is forced to adapt to a world that has been radically(...)

"We knew very little with any certainty. One thing, though, was confirmed by everyone: that we were not the only ones flooded. For all we knew, every city across the globe had suffered a comparable fate." As an unnamed city finds itself partially submerged below water, a small community of friends and lovers is forced to adapt to a world that has been radically transformed. An arresting vision of the wages of ecological disaster, "Our distance became water" is at once lyrical, moving, and psychologically acute. Endlessly inventive in both its style and its substance, this is a singularly powerful literary response to environmental change.

Summary:
The poems in ''Naturalism, an annotated bibliography'' survey the totemic elements of rural life, a world where wells go dry, rains flood brooks and basements, and maintenance only ever slows the inevitable decline. But there’s resilience as well, in garlic scapes, rosehips, winter birds, old houses and books, and love. Goodfellow’s spare style and sensitivity to the way(...)

Une sorte d'aventure à la Indiana Jones : dans quelle jungle architecturale se retrouve-t-on lorsqu'on traverse au sens propre une bibliothèque. C'est donc une traversée qui comporte des allers, des retours, des dérives et des lieux au-delà de la lecture. Une traversée qui donne un point de vue spatial sur la lecture des livres qui devient ici promenade architecturale d'un nouveau type. L'ouvrage pose également la question de la représentation et de l'outil du dessin comme élément constructeur de l'architecture. Les lectures génèrent des images mentales capables d'influer et d'accompagner les architectes dans la construction d'espaces.

Few literary characters have led such colourful lives or matched her influence or capacity for reinvention in poetry, drama, fiction, and film. In ''The Wife of Bath'', Marion Turner tells the fascinating story of where Chaucer’s favourite character came from, how she related to real medieval women, and where her many travels have taken her since the fourteenth century, from Falstaff and Molly Bloom to #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.
