This is not a Poem: The Republic in Bessette’s Garance Rose with Carrie Chappell

Paris-based writer and translator Carrie Chappell is back on This is Not a Poem, once again discussing 20th-century French writer Hélène Bessette with host Elliott K.B.

Carrie Chappell shares her translations and insights on the complexities of the poetic novel Garance Rose, diving into a passage that challenges readers to question what it truly means to live within a "Republic" — an idea that Bessette explores with both satire and scepticism.
