The River Has No Colour by Jessica Taggart Rose, translated by Claire Durand-Gasselin<br><b>Poetry Book Society Translation Choice Summer 2025</b> Nichola Deane religious fundamentalism and the distrust/fearPBS 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.
