• Sommario/riassunto: Stephen Kampa's poems are witty and restless in their pursuit of an intelligent modern faith. They range from a four-line satire of office inspirational posters to a lengthy meditation on the silence of God. The poems also revel in the prosodic possibilities of English'shigh and low registers: a twenty-one line homageto Lord Byron that turns on three rhymes (one of which is "eisegesis"); a sestina whose end words include "sentimental," "Marseilles," and "Martian;" sapphics on the death of Ray ; Charles; and intricately modulated stanzas on the 1931 Spanish-language movie version of Dracula.

• Sommario/riassunto: Telle une idole, étrange et hiératique, une Vierge noire trône au chœur ; d’une chapelle encombrée d’ex votos, accumulés autour d’elle au cours des siècles. À Meymac en Limousin, à Orcival en Auvergne, à Rocamadour en Quercy ou encore à Manosque en Provence, elle semble nous inviter à un mystérieux voyage dans le temps et l’imaginaire. Parmi les innombrables figurations de Marie, la Vierge noire tranche par son abstraction et sa pureté d’idole ; elle appartient à un temps où le dialogue avec l’autre monde, celui de l’au-delà, était encore possible et même quotidien. L’image dont il est question est bien sûr celle de la statue de bois trônant en Majesté, portant l’Enfant sur ses genoux, qui trouve une de ses expressions les plus emblématiques dans la statue de la Vierge noire de Rocamadour.
