Venture into a vast primary forest… This is the feeling that the reader experiences when discovering the new collection by Mary-Laure Zoss, Alone in its wood, pitched black, published by Fario, of high poetic quality. More precisely the feeling of leaving the trails, taking the risk of getting lost. In this forest, one can admire what has almost disappeared from our landscapes today, these centuries-old trees that Rembrandt was able to represent so well in his engravings: oaks so old that some of their branches rot while others, full of sap, irrigate new buds. Trees struck down, split, hollowed out, both dead and alive, refuges for insects and birds.
