Salicornes et Calissons
by Fabienne Hégron, published on March 15, 2021 by Éditions Couleurs et Plumes.
Her favorite quote:
"How many hours spent repainting the world,
Hanging its wings and erasing its blackness
What has become of the wandering sketch
Of our beautiful futures which would be the best?"
"
Why this book?
Because poetry is more necessary than ever to us
and Fabienne Hégron takes us into a universe that is both very current and full of nostalgia conducive to touching us in these troubled times.
Because nature is very present in this collection
and the author pays homage to it with great delicacy and power.
Because poetry in verse is very difficult to handle,
and not always easy to read (except that of the greatest!): Yet, here, it works, we do not feel the exercise of style, it emerges from verses a true emotion, and the author takes enough freedom not to give the impression of imitating models.
Because the writing is beautiful, the vocabulary rich and precise,
the inventiveness very present, and you can feel the experience lived in each poem.
