In An Oubliette is a lyrical, evocative meditation on the awful consequences of war. It is told in poems which sometimes describe real battlefields, sometimes those of the heart. A story of many strands with voices from the Crusades, the Napoleonic Wars, the Second World War, and other conflicts. Narrated by a cast of characters from across the ages, some major figures from history, others part of the common mass of humanity.

Autorenporträt
Jean Andrews was born in the West of Ireland and has spent her adult life in the UK as a lecturer in Hispanic Studies, currently at the University of Nottingham. She has published five collections of poetry and two books of translated poetry by Hispanic authors. Her work is inflected both by her Irish upbringing and her reading and teaching of poetry in the Romance languages. It is lyrical and rooted in the everyday but also open to engagement with the larger more abstract questions, such as history and identity, that impact on all our lives.
