Poetry Book Society Translation Choice Summer 2025 Pavilion Press but at the same time

but at the same time it grows unrecognisable - a terrain vague steadily absenting itself from human memory

that is expatriation

Her melancholic examinations recall life’s uncanny ability to transform ordinary places – subways

Often there is no static vantage point

The River Has No Colour by Jessica Taggart Rose, translated by Claire Durand-Gasselin<br><b>Poetry Book Society Translation Choice Summer 2025</b> Pavilion Press but at the same timePBS Summer 2025 Translation Choice 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.
