Ingrid’s Husband
How the living haunt themselves is Ingrid’s Husband’s concern, and the author discovers his spirits through an imagery of absences – a child’s signature in the dust of an old guitar; the stone plinth where a café once stood; a white balloon drifting down a shopping arcade; a chateau, still furnished with the belongings of its vanished owner …

Mari d'Ingrid
Traduit de l'anglais par Gérard Augustin
Paul Henry dit que Mari d'Ingrid est "un livre de fantômes", un livre du "désir et (de) la perte d'amour", la quête et l'égarement d'amour. Fortement enracinée dans le quotidien, cette poésie n'en révèle pas moins le sacré qui se cache derrière chaque geste, chaque mot. Le "fantôme", c'est le présent réminiscent (et le poète se délivre ainsi de sa souffrance), c'est l'image secrète de notre vie, cette image tragique qui résume notre historicité.
