Description
Inspired by music, this poetry collection is composed of assonances, rhythms, musical phrases, and improvisations that outline the beginning and the end of everything that matters. Paul Savoie delves into the different dimensions of music that enable him to pierce the gray or to go through crystal, two of the pathways that give shape to his imaginary world.
