NIGHT PASSAGE

By Dominique Garrel

Go on a wonderful poetic journey with Dominique Garrel’s Night Passage: Poems In Our Two Languages – and see, in a double treat, what the world and life at large has to offer.

 

With the first part in English and the second in French, Night Passage is a literary composition that distinctively benefits from the author’s bilingual perspective, allowing him to describe the nuances of life experiences that may escape the eye of a monolingual author.

 

From prosaic pieces such as Airport and the ambiguity of their revolving doors as metaphor of whether we are coming or going in life, to the three-part poem Emptiness which tackles our existential separation from others, Garrel’s poetry always comes with meaningful insights to convey. His French piece Les Jardins beautifully captures the tranquility of being in a garden and “the silence of the flowers…” which it can offer to refresh the weary soul. Another, Les Amants (The Lovers), conjures images of the wonderful treasures of Ali Baba’s cave for, after all, doesn’t love promise delights that are out of this world?
