Henri-Michel Yéré
Tuesday, 13. June 2023

Henri-Michel Yéré's new book of poems, written in Nouchi and French, intertwines past, present, and future, showing that poetry can transcend the linearity of time and multiply our visions. Drawing from both languages, the poems respond to but do not resemble each other. The desolation of existence is countered by the collection with a certainty: When there is dialogue, all loneliness eventually disappears.
