The River Has No Colour

The River Seine is an unlikely goddess, keeper of secrets and source of hope in Jessica Taggart Rose's debut pamphlet collection. Plunging us into the artery that runs through the heart of Paris, Rose explores the relationships between the human and non-human, between past and present, between water and sky. The poems question what it means to inhabit any ecosystem, especially during environmental and social crises. Transparent, musical and immersive, this book is a bilingual collaboration, presenting Jessica's original poetry in English, alongside the French translation from Claire Durand-Gasselin.
