A sequel to her T. S. Eliot Prize shortlisted collection Erato, Deryn Rees-Jones’ remarkable new book-length poem begins with a woman checking into a hotel in the heart of Paris. Here is a diary of the present-day city that doubles as a reckoning with the past, including memories of the pandemic and a love affair. Hôtel Amour’s fierce and formidable interrogation of why lyric poetry matters is the work of a poet at the height of her powers.
