In the morning, the poet takes the world in her stride, observing the ordinary and the extraordinary of each day. What does she see? What is, the reality that flows in the moment and from which she tries to gather joy.
As she sees fit, she traverses the territory with the strength of her body and sometimes that of her Uncle Bernard’s old pick-up truck. With her outspokenness, Marie-Andrée Gill calls on us to accept our times as they present themselves, questioning the boundaries that stand between ourselves and something infinitely greater that needs no name. In the space of a gear shift, she lingers on the art of gesture and reflection in a poetry that is loving but above all relational, inviting us to look up to the other, to slow down, to live together, to embrace what is there, without judgment. All lights on, she lights the way from a great distance.
