Résumé du livre
Once is Jo Slade's seventh collection of poetry. In it she examines what it means to be a poet and an artist in these divisive times. She brings into particular focus fundamental questions about our attitudes to women and children, to the natural world, to the vulnerability of the human species. She watches and listens, at one and the same time, she sees the beauty and the dissolution of the world. The poems are, as are all forms of art, light beams across the darkness of our times.
