“The [poems in Friendship] will take you to the discovery of self-worth, the celebration of the joy of having a true, faithful friend, more ambiguous forms of friendship, the inevitable griefs caused by betrayal, displayed in many shades or definitions of what friendship means. The only risk, if you take a plunge into the poets’ lines, is that you may discover what you should not miss in life: good poetry and friends.”
– Brigitte Poirson
