you

by Chantal Neveu, Erín Moure

From poet Chantal Neveu, author of the award-winning collection This Radiant Life, comes a book-length poem that plunges us more deeply into the notion of the idyll and into the polyhedric structure of love.you demonstrates with exceptional beauty how in the interval between words or verses, language can glimmer, absorb, and refract the changing realities and attractions of an all too human relationship. Personal autonomy and the formation of “ self” are nourished here by multiples— I, you, s/he. The voice in you reclaims life from change and time and affirms it anew.

[Tina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quite an interesting book length poem translated from the French that puts the emphasis on language and word choice to describe love and relationships.

Thank you to the publisher for my gifted review copy!
