This Is Not A Poem: Jessica Taggart Rose on the nature of Paris as poetry

Jessica Taggart Rose, a poet based in Margate, UK, speaks about her debut pamphlet, The
river has no colour, published in a bilingual version by The New Menard Press. (https://www.thenewmenardpress.com/)

The poems paint Paris through the seasons, through the rain and the canicular sun, posing questions about the ecological problems the city faces. EK asks Jessica about her poetic process and the
collaboration between herself and Claire Durand-Gasslin, who did the French translation.
