by Bernard Anton, published on June 2, 2022 by Les Éditions Involved.


His favorite quote:

"Believing oneself invincible,


history writes these butcheries,


bleeding rivers."


Why this book?

    , the war between Ukraine and Russia, but in the form of a collection of poems.

  • Because this work puts forward haiku,

    a poetic art of Japanese origin, which is attributed to the great Bashō Matsuo and which dates from the 17th century.

  • Because it's very easy to read, thanks to an

    original, airy and intelligent layout.

    dear to the heart of its author Bernard Anton, ecology.
