Piéger l'éternité, de Mélanie Noël, se présente comme un ensible de clins d'œil poétiques pris sur le vif : entre tendresse et humour, ces poèmes illustrent, en quelques images révélatrices le plus souvent, l'existence de fimes et d'hommes comme on en croise au hasard des rencontres ou dont on entend parler au fil de conversations qui émaillent le quotidien de tous et chacun.
Dans un texte liminaire, Mélanie Noël explique sa démarche...

Avec Pièces à convictions, Marco Geoffroy crée un univers singulier à partir d'éléments de la vie quotidienne auxquels il attribue d'étranges pouvoirs :
un labyrinthe de dentelle laisse pousser l'espoir

ancrés par les rhizomes
mariés à l'amour boréal
Ici, l'amour se présente comme une...
