Reclus au bout du monde, les Tor'ocs sont entrés en symbiose avec leur environnement ; ils ont vécu dans les arbres et ont appris le langage du vent. Dernier d'une lignée de seigneurs de guerre, Æon la Feuille, le plus doux des Tor'ocs, est convoqué dans le Monde du dehors et quitte la terre qu'il chérit. Le Peuple du vent est le récit d'un voyage qui conduira le héros face à lui-même et à son destin. Nous avons découvert ce livre par les éditions Massot, qui nous proposent de le mettre ici à l'honneur pour en débattre, en échange d'exemplaires ! À très vite pour échanger avec vous !

Come and idle away the winter months with **Shakespeare’s Sonnets**! It’s never too late to discover, or rediscover just how dazzling, intimate, and endlessly surprising Shakespeare’s incredible body of 154 sonnets can be. Over the next three months, we’ll wander through some of the most beautiful, piercing, and emotionally complex poems ever written. Think of it as falling in love with Shakespeare all over again one cluster of sonnets at a time. **In February:** We will turn to Shakespeare’s poems of Separation, Jealousy, and Betrayal: That middle stretch where the emotional weather changes and clouds roll in. These sonnets wrestle with estrangement, disappointment, wounded pride, and the pain of loving someone who cannot always love you back. **Our cluster:** Sonnets 33–36, 40–42, 87, 90–96, and the fascinating “rival poet” group 78–86. **In March:** We enter the world of the late sonnets; the so-called “*Dark Lady*” poems, where passion becomes more complicated, desire grows knotted and sharp, and Shakespeare confronts the darker edges of sexuality and self-knowledge. These poems are bold, unsettling, and unforgettable. **Our cluster**: Sonnets 127–152 (the full Dark Lady sequence), with optional additions of 129 (“Th’ expense of spirit in a waste of shame”) and 138 (“When my love swears that she is made of truth”) for special discussion. Across the winter, we’ll read, explore, puzzle over, and simply enjoy these poems together tracing how Shakespeare moves from youthful radiance to emotional turmoil to the shadowy brilliance of his final sonnets. Hope you will make it! Maryama Antoine

"Qui étais-je encore pour mes filles, certes tendres envers moi, mais déjà sorcières si accomplies qu'elles ne pouvaient certainement s'empêcher de ressentir, envers leur mère peu douée, une sorte d'indifférence condescendante ?" Lucie n'est pas une sorcière talentueuse. Ses deux filles, elles, se révèlent extrêmement habiles, au-delà des prétentions et des espoirs de Lucie qui n'aspirait qu'à en faire des sorcières efficaces. Quant à la mère de Lucie, son génie est absolu." Vous avez envie de découvrir Marie NDiaye, une romancière française lauréate du prix Femina (2001) et Goncourt (2009) pour respectivement, les oeuvres "Rosie Carpe" et "Trois femmes puissantes"? Alors nous vous donnons rendez-vous dans l'ambiance cosy du Poinçon Paris pour échanger ensemble autour de ce roman, au cours d'un club de lecture. A l’issue de la séance, vous pourrez proposer un roman qui s'inscrira dans la thématique du **policier historique** et qui sera soumis au vote des participants, pour le prochain Club de Lecture de la Plume en Question (Rappel des conditions : 300 pages maximum – format poche disponible) Ce club de lecture durera exceptionnellement une heure trente et sera suivi de l'Assemblée Générale de l'association La Plume en Question.

**Welcome to Men's Circle, hosted at Sticks and Stones!** This is a group oriented towards fostering connection between men in our local community, while also accomplishing magickal working and intentional discussion around metaphysical topics. Please read the following code of conduct for our group, and message the facilitator or call the shop and ask for Merlin for any questions. Code of Conduct 1. We are all, in good faith, men. Whichever way that manifests, we take it on good faith that all attendees are male identifying. 2. We respect all walks of life and spiritual practice. We honor and respect men from every walk of life and spiritual practice. Freedom ends where it infringes on the practice of another. We do not evangelize, prostelitize, or talk down on others. There is no initiation, or universal code of spiritual conduct here. 3. What happens in Men's Circle stays in Men's Circle By attending, you accept a sacred duty to keep the trust and faith of the other attendees, do not share or discuss anything we share in circle. *(The secret answer to the question is "Salt on the Wind")* 4. Respect the circle Once the circle is cast, we are focusing our energy on magickal topics, and making the best use of everyone's time. With great love, we may ask you to redirect or keep a line of thought shorter or more intentional. 5. Arbitration is immediate and help-oriented If you run into a pain point or offense in our group, please speak up immediately and let your thoughts be heard. We are here to respect and grow and support each other as a community, let us help and grow together. **The next few weeks, we will be focusing discussion and practices around the following topic:** What does self-love and esteem mean for men?
