    • 2015, Catherine Gérard, Sur la courbe de nos rondeurs terrestres:
      À peine déposée sur leurs berges, je m’enlisais. Noyée, rappelée dans le trognon de mes enfances. Retenue, désorientée après ces jours de langueur profonde le long des rives de la Nam Hou, je sombrais.
      As soon as I landed on their banks, I was bogged down. Drowned, called back into the core of my childhood. Held back, disoriented after these days of deep langour along the banks of the Nam Hou, I slept.
