Founded in 1949, the Midis de la poésie is an association from Brussels which has, for more than sixty years, promoted literature and poetry, from the past as well as the present. The formula is simple and original: midday every Tuesday, from October to May, a specialist lecturer or writer develops a literary question in the perspective of general culture. To shine a light on their subject, actors read the texts of the tackled authors. Certain meetings offer conferences/shows. To ensure that its heritage continues to exist by (re)discovering past and recent conferences which have left a mark in history, the Midis de la poésie are developing a collection of essays with l’Arbre à paroles.

Marginales is a Belgian review founded in 1945 by Albert Ayguesparse, a key figure in Belgian literature. Since its beginnings, Marginales has shown itself to be a voice of Belgian literature in the community, the spokesperson of a collective spirit which is the foundation of all literary reviews and particularly this one, which provoked it to open itself up to hugely diverse movements, and give Belgian authors the recognition they were lacking. Marginales had published 229 editions until its closure in 1991. Following a seven year pause, there was a rebirth in 1998 with issue number 230, published regarding Dutroux, whose marked evasion had shocked Belgium and provided the first theme of the newly returned review. Marginales therefore embarked upon its path of regularly publishing 4 issues per year.

Courgette Editions grew from an unconventional seed !
Since 2021, Courgette Editions has been cultivating printed, digital, and audio works that transcend traditional literary norms. It offers intimate perspectives that become political, and introduces alternative viewpoints that challenge established conventions. The press provides space for unconventional imaginations and lived experiences, as well as themes that disrupt stereotypes and societal frameworks?through literature, poetry, art books, and educational tools.
The formats are multiple, but the commitments are constant. Each publication is conceived as an ethical editorial act: local printing, paper from sustainably managed forests, non-toxic inks. Every link in the production chain is fairly compensated. Overproduction of both works and prints is deliberately avoided with a strong emphasis on creating meaning.
In 2025, Courgette Editions signed the charter for the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, an initiative led by the Belgian Francophone Book Interprofessional Association (PILEn). Publishing differently also means thinking differently.
Courgette Editions welcomes co-publishing, translation, and partnership opportunities with publishing houses that share its values of sustainability, inclusivity, and engaged creativity. Its authors are eager to see their work resonate across borders?on human, political, and poetic levels.
Finally, Courgette Editions is a member of the French-speaking Belgian Publishers Association and the Association of Singular Publishers. It supports the International Alliance of Independent Publishers. It is also recognized by the Federation Wallonia-Brussels.
