Description

DATE OF RELEASE: 7 NOV 2025

A slim, emotionally and thematically rich book of poetry, a grammar of the world is Les Fugitives' first poetry publication and Jeanne Benameur's second book published in English, offering a new and more personal look into her own history and writing practice. For Jeanne Benameur, the Egyptian goddess Isis is a sister who advances with her along the seashore. Like her, poetry responds to life's call where the blue of the sky mingles with the blue of the sea.

She is unity rediscovered. Drawing on subjects as diverse as the author's childhood traumatic flight from the Algerian War of Independence in the late 1950s, the modern migrant crisis, the transformative power of writing, the freedom of second-language literacy, and the long history of the Mediterranean, a grammar of the world is brought into harmony by the central mythological figure, who personifies a careful reknitting of the world and repairing of ancient wounds through the act of writing
