Poems & Poèmes; autres alliances

In the candlelit salons of early twentieth-century Paris, where the air shimmered with possibility and the boundaries of art and love blurred, a singular voice emerged-bold, intimate, and unafraid. This bilingual poetry book invites readers into a world where language itself becomes an alliance, weaving together English and French in a dance of desire, longing, and revelation. Each poem is both a confession and a celebration, capturing the pulse of the Paris literary scene and the quiet intensity of sapphic poetry at a time when such themes dared to shimmer beneath the surface.The collection’s dual language poems offer a rare glimpse into the cross-cultural experience of expatriate writers in France, revealing the nuances of emotion and identity that transcend borders. The verses move effortlessly between two tongues, echoing the complexities of love and the courage it takes to live authentically. The modernist poetry collection brims with lyricism and sensuality, speaking to the inner lives of women poets in France and the enduring power of feminist poetry. The language is at once delicate and daring, reflecting the intricate alliances formed between words, lovers, and cultures.For those drawn to early 20th century poetry, the book stands as a testament to the era’s experimental spirit and its quiet revolutions. The poems evoke smoky rooms, whispered confidences, and the electric tension of forbidden love, all rendered with exquisite precision. Lovers of lesbian love poems and those who cherish the artistry of bilingual poetry will find themselves transported, invited to linger over each carefully wrought line.This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions.
