""Chantal Neveu moves to reappropriate writing on love, with precision and balance, and without evading the turmoil.... you is among the texts that quietly renew the relationship between poetry and intimacy."" —Adrien Meignan, Un dernier livre avant la fin du monde (tr. Erín Moure) “Neveu's writing sets aside all that might relate to articulation, coordination or subordination, so as to free up only what is indispensable via a fractioned speech.” —Monique Deland, Estuaire (tr. Erín Moure)
