What readers are saying
“Phare is sensational. The way Louise Devismes writes tender yet empowering poems is nothing short of masterful. it makes for some of the best and most beautiful poetry you will ever read. I can’t recommend this pamphlet enough.”
— Joe Thomas, editor for Llais Newydd
“In this elegant collection, Louise Devismes explores love, heartbreak, growth and self-worth. The poems effortlessly switch from delicate and inspiring to brutal and erotic, keeping the reader on edge, unknowing how the poem will end after it begins. Underneath all the poems of love and heartbreak, a seed threads itself through, a seed of adolescence, blossoming at the end to reveal the beauty of womanhood, of crafting identity despite the cruelness of the world. Divided into neat sections with gorgeous illustrations by Louise herself, it was a divine read.”
— Addison Williams, author
“A poetry collection that’s a perfect pair with a glass (or 2) of Bordeaux…”
— Guy A. Forster-Pearce, poet, journalist
