new from above/ground press: Coup, by Jérôme Melançon

Coup
Jérôme Melançon
$5

The horizon split, the morning finds the mirror

Mes yeux s’ajustent lentement à la saveur

Essuie-glace et clignotant fondus en surprise
The wheels learn to crawl, the engine hardens with ease

I tilt the seat back, lie down in the aftertaste

Ma surface gelée aiguise les contrastes

La tension glisse vers l’ouest et le goût m’échappe

Under the rind, the scraping, the pulling happen

Jérôme Melançon est l’auteur de De perdre tes pas (2011) et Quelques pas quelque part (2016), aux Éditions des Plaines. Son écriture plus immédiate est trouvable via @lethejerome. Il vit en Saskatchewan et est professeur agrégé à l’Université de Regina.

He writes about political philosophy, phenomenology, popular music, and literature, and sometimes even teaches those things, with gratefulness to students for their willingness to try things and talk about them.
