This new edition of the book includes newspaper articles and reviews, which historically re-contextualise the poems. A brief introduction and annotations to individual poems clarify both period detail and Binyon’s biographical perspectives.

L'autrice phare de néo-poésie nous propose un recueil plein de sensibilité et de force. Grâce à sa poésie hautement intime, on suit Pauline Bilisari sous les averses de la vie, plus ou moins violentes, parfois orageuses, mais avec la perspective de la douceur qui arrive. Elle nous entraîne dans un pas de deux qui explore le deuil, les désillusions, l'envie de vivre qui quelquefois vacille, mais aussi l'enfance et la sérénité retrouvée. Une danse sous la pluie, entre fêlures et reconstruction.
