"Words Made of Silk" is a beautiful book of poetry, the fifth to be published by Little Red Tree Publishing, in which Jean-Yves has once again created a complete book of poetry, both riveting and challenging in its scope with a large measure of artistic courage. With an aesthetic anti-poetic underpinning, which is not in any sense without purpose, there is a self-evident awareness of the potential conflict with his own natural sense of mellifluous prose, detectable in the conflict and duality within the contrasting subject matter of the poems. Jean-Yves floats with consummate ease between the real tragic consequences of egregious acts of inhumanity, and the ineffable and ethereal vapors of sensual erotic sensibilities: an innate, subliminal yet synergic tour de force. A book of poetry to be read by all those interested in a singularly unique view of life that may re-define in your mind the capacity of poetry to be what it always was meant to be.
