One Language

£10.99

In poignant moments impeccably captured, Taylor-Lind creates visceral and indelible snapshots of war, from the battlefields of Libya to a childhood comprised of both violence and love. An honest, devastating, beautiful and unvarnished glimpse of life and all its trauma, and the subtlety of love.

– Lynsey Addario, photojournalist

Description

One Language is a remarkable debut collection. From the perspective of a female photojournalist, these concise but complex and insightful poems draw on first-hand experience of war to explore how damage is generated and perpetuated. The book’s title expresses the contradiction between the lingua franca of photography and the equally universal language of violence. One Language comes to an understanding of personal history and global conflict in poetry that is as immediate and evocative as the most urgent of dispatches.
