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 a flourish of that decomposingPBS 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.
