One Language
One Language is a remarkable debut collection. From the perspective of a female photojournalist, these concise but complex and insightful poems draw on first-hand experience of war to explore how damage is generated and perpetuated. The book’s title expresses the contradiction between the lingua franca of photography and the equally universal language of violence. One Language comes to an understanding of personal history and global conflict in poetry that is as immediate and evocative as the most urgent of dispatches.

"pacifism is a privilege," writes poet anastasia taylor-lind. as an international law academic, I can't say I agree, but then taylor-lind's background and perspective are very different from mine: as a photojournalist, she witnesses and documents the everyday of war, while my profession provides (or tries to provide) detached, principled legal commentary on war. taylor-lind's work is humbling, real, and deeply empathetic.
