Intimate Piano for Valentines Day

After Thoughts

God should ___, if he wants me. God should be a nervous slip of a kid. God should pick up the altar and make flower petals float. God should draw a shaky self-portrait. God shouldnotbe indivisible. That was one word that always curled on my tongue, when i stood with my hand pressed to my chest, my fickle fast skeletal chest, and chanted the words with the other children, and the teacher whose good-natured smile would so swiftly turn solemn, devout. under god, indivisible. under god’s invisible. under this god, in the visible. in the visible world, god is an electric pulse. God should be small and many. God should mill thanklessly about, in search of me. God should wait on line, eavesdropping on the women ahead of them. give me an inch, girl. cut me some slack. take this worn billfold heart into the other room. take it and fold it over again. let it be some bug’s miniature shelter. God never knows what to make of these places. God shifts her feet, which ache because they should after a whole half-hour, and watches balls of light unfurl on the eggshell-orange tile. God’s waiting on a renewal of some sort, and there are way too many forms. 

God was never an enemy, because i knew God better than our families. but God’s still learning how to make friends. God’s still leaning against my wall, wondering if they’re on the outside or in. God’s still ____, trying to figure out how to ______. God should ___, but not for me. God’s knuckles should tremble. God should look up, ask if they got the right door. God should try and learn something from the silence. God should have to guess.

"Dear You : épisode 1" de Emily Blaine lu par Jessica Monceau ©Editions Audiolib.

Bienvenue au Peninsula, un palace de rêve au cœur de la ville qui ne dort jamais. C’est là qu’officie Kathleen, dont la mission, en tant qu’hôtesse d’accueil, est de satisfaire toutes les demandes de ses prestigieux clients. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, elle est transparente – mais pas pour Andrew Blake. Dès son arrivée à l’hôtel, ce magnat de la presse, secret et extrêmement charismatique, semble s’intéresser de très près à Kat. Depuis qu’elle occupe ce poste, c’est la première fois qu’on la remarque. Si elle se sent d’abord flattée, très vite, cette attention soudaine la déstabilise. Il faut dire que les exigences de son nouveau client sont plutôt troublantes…

Audiolib est l'éditeur N°1 de livres audio en France.

Nous souhaitons renouveler l'image du livre audio de langue française, et donner envie d'essayer cette nouvelle forme de lecture à un très large public, grâce à un choix de  livres actuels - parmi les plus lus, à des lecteurs de grande qualité, un format moderne, un prix attractif. Avec plus de 1 400 titres au catalogue, vous n’avez pas fini de nous entendre !

Passionnés par le livre sous toutes ses formes, nous sommes convaincus que ce mode de lecture, pourtant une très ancienne pratique, n'en est qu'à ses débuts en France. C’est une aventure exceptionnelle de développer une autre façon de lire auprès d'un nouveau public, à notre époque de loisirs nomades, en jouant également sur les nouvelles technologies.

Parce  que les mots écrits s'enrichissent d'une autre dimension artistique, vivante, incarnée, qui fait appel à un sens très subtil, l'ouïe, ils développent des émotions de façon étonnante, et créent un espace imaginaire différent de celui que l’on se crée seul, en silence.

Essayez… vous serez surpris !
