Fields of peace : from despair of WWI to hope for mankind 2020

There are no words to describe the violence, the madness of war, of an era… And yet, throughout the pages, Patrick Charriez has managed to make poetry out of this part of our world history. Words are our lives. They conceptualize our thoughts, they belong to our daily life, but we rarely measure their scope, their strength … Did we have to live all this to dive back into our “family” album and find everything that unites us ?
