A Flutist and a Poetess

Arts & Literature

“Nathalie Gaillot’s work skillfully integrates classical poetry with the complexities of modern love. Starting with the first poem, a beautiful mirror effect emerges: while the poetess declares her love for the flutist, Gaillot herself proclaims her love for language and literature. Evocative of Verlaine, Woolf, and many others, Gaillot’s poems make for an ethereal yet deeply grounded universe. Each poem shall be savored like a sophisticated dish—Gaillot is the lyrical chef poetry lovers have been waiting for.”
