“…In the wake of Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, she experimented with the image as a way of reaching for a new sense of “locality”.

Qualques reflexions sul principi poetic e la temporalitat liura dins Sonets barròcs enta Iseut by Laurent Alibert

The analysis of some poems in this paper suggests that the connection between the medieval reference and the poetical language is made around the death and resurrection of the Occitan language : as Iseut (Yseult) seems to die and be reborn, the lost language comes back again, in a new shape, both alike and different.…”
