Huguette Bertrand's Les Visages Du Temps is a collection of poems that acts like a family photo album for the soul. Instead of following a single story, it walks through different phases of a life, capturing glimpses of childhood, love, aging, and loss. The 'plot' is the quiet, relentless march of time itself, witnessed through ordinary, deeply personal images—a weathered hand, light through a window, an empty chair.
Why You Should Read It
This isn't poetry that shouts. It whispers. Bertrand has a gift for finding the extraordinary weight in everyday things. She made me stop and really see the way dust motes dance in a sunbeam and think about all the afternoons they've danced through. The poems are short, often just a page, but they pack an emotional punch. They explore how we are all constantly saying goodbye to earlier versions of ourselves and the people we love, even as we're hello-ing the new ones.
Final Verdict
Perfect for anyone who needs a quiet, thoughtful break from a noisy world. If you enjoy poets like Mary Oliver or the reflective moments in a novel, where nothing huge happens but everything feels important, you'll connect with this. It's a book for a slow afternoon, a cup of tea, and a bit of looking out the window, wondering where all the time went.
