A chapbook of stunning breadth and depth, Errances explores the power of language to imagine, construct, and take apart our internal and external worlds. The writing brims with a playful linguistic curiosity that belies the seriousness of the themes Hecq is engaging with - how language mediates experience, how writing is an act of resistance/existence, the dissonance inherent in inhabiting - or being inhabited by - multiple languages in a country that clings to monolingualism.
By placing several languages in direct and indirect conversation, Hecq creates a symphonic landscape, in which she is explorer and guide. Errances invites the reader to wander with the poet through myriad connections and disconnections, resonances, and discoveries as she negotiates questions of belonging and being in a land that is both hostile and home.
