Their music cleverly integrates this smorgasbord of influences to distill a band sound that is decidedly contemporary and indeed complex, but one which never loses sight of the melody. Sue Rynhart Duo Sue Rynhart (vocals), Dan Bodwell (doublebass) Young composer and singer Sue Rynhart has performed at jazz festivals all over Ireland. Her collaborations with well-known Irish and international artists range from premiering works by George Higgs, Simon McHale, Donal Mac Erlaine or the Irish Composers Collective to singing with Rick Peckham, Tom Arthurs and Florian Ross.Sue's critically acclaimed debut album Crossings was nominated Best Jazz Album in the Irish Times Ticket Awards 2014.

18 November 19h30 (WEDS NIGHT!) Korean-American Author Myung Mi Kim reads for Ivy Writers Paris. She will read in English and new translations (first translations!) of her work by Abigail Lang will be presented in French. BIO: MYUNG MI KIM: b. 1957. Author of 7 books of poetry, professor at Univ of Buffalo, NY, Myung Mi Kim is known for her strong explorations of history, personal and political narratives in fragmented space which open the page and the English language to the othernesses in all of us. As CJ Martin states, she "explores the problem of legibility: legibility of the book, of the subject, of the work of art. Kim’s work seeks “a relationship with readers that owns to and remains critical of the political and systematic nature of that encounter,” from books that construct their own grammar to lyric speech that explores the problem of silence to work that foregrounds practice as performance." (Jacket 2 sidebar intro) A large feature on her work, including criticism and a series of interviews, appeared on Jacket 2: here is a link to one of those works: http://jacket2.org/feature/myung-mi-kim Myung Mi Kim is the subject of the book The Subject of Building Is a Process / Light Is an Element: essays and excursions for Myung Mi Kim (2008). She has taught at San Francisco State University and in the Poetics Program at SUNY Buffalo.   Myung Mi Kim was born in Seoul, Korea. She immigrated with her family to the United States at the age of nine and was raised in the Midwest. She earned a BA from Oberlin College, an MA from The Johns Hopkins University, and an MFA from the University of Iowa. Her collection of poems Under Flag (1991) won the Multicultural Publishers Exchange Award of Merit; subsequent collections include The Bounty (1996), DURA (1999), Commons (2002), River Antes (2006), and Penury (2009).

OUT NOW : for those interested in CRIME WRITING and in FRENCH : check out this issue : Parution du nouveau numéro d’Itinéraires. LTC N° 2014-3 Le polar en Europe : réécritures du genre Ce numéro privilégie les regards croisés pour aborder, à travers le roman policier, les notions de genre (littéraires et sexués), les questionnements sur l’élaboration d’une hiérarchie littéraire et sur la fonction sociale du roman. Il démontre également l’enracinement du polar dans le réel et la façon dont ses règles supposément restrictives offrent à l’auteur dissident la possibilité de défier l’idéologie dominante, d’offrir à un public complice, ou pas, une lecture séditieuse du monde, de son histoire et de nous mettre face à nos propres préjugés et préconceptions. Ce numéro réunit donc des universitaires français et britanniques, dans le but de favoriser un dialogue à la fois multidisciplinaire et multinational, qui reflète les courants actuels de la critique. Il comprend des articles sur le polar français ainsi que sur le Krimi allemand des années 1940 et le roman policier anglais de l’après-guerre, mais aussi sur la question toujours épineuse du statut du polar dans la littérature.

2 nouveaux ouvrages du Domaine croate/Poésie viennent de paraître!!!:  
Celui de Vanda Mikšić (1972),  et celui de Zvonimir Mrkonjić (1938) chez
L'Ollave, éditeur. Domaine croate/Poésie collection dirigée par Jean de Breyne  Martina Kramer  Vanda Mikšić  Brankica Radić. Il Vient de paraître Sels, de Vanda Mikšic : Un livre de 64 pages, au format 15 x 21 à la française, avec un portrait photographique de l'auteur, traduit par Martina Kramer et Brankica Radić. De ce que nous ressentons de réel de la vue – l'image – que nous avons à la lecture des poèmes de Vanda Mikšić (1972), il est un sub-réel qui nous intranquillise.  “On se réjouit de ces regards et observations différentes, d'une dramaturgie quasi cinématographique du poème et du livre. La  poésie de Vanda Mikšić vit de la dangereuse proximité du quotidien et, sur les cendres du vu et du connu, regarde autrement“, écrit le critique  Miroslav Mićanović. Table des matières, de Zvonimir Mrkonjić Un livre de 70 pages, au format 15 x 21 à la française, avec un portrait photographique de l'auteur, une préface de Vanda Mikšić, traduit par Martina Kramer,  Vanda Mikšić et Brankica Radić. L'une des figures majeures de la poésie croate contemporaine, Zvonimir Mrkonjić (1938) nous soumet aujourd'hui une œuvre poétique longue de plus d'un demi-siècle, une œuvre qui s'est faite en parallèle avec son immense travail de critique, de théoricien et de traducteur, une œuvre, de surcroît, fort imprégnée d'échos de la poésie française. 13 euros (+ port 3 euros par exemplaire) à l'ordre de Association Galerie Librairie l'Ollave Rue du Moulin à vent. 84400 Rustrel. France-Europe Unie. www.ollave.org
