A Bee in Monet's Garden: Lyrical Prose

Jean-Yves' poetry is one of cultural duality and a search for an artistic resolution with the past. It draws you into a world of intellectual contrasts where one reality is juxtaposed with another, creating a multi-dimensional universe that is all at once: simultaneous, fascinating, unsettling, and revelatory. Jean-Yves' poetic-prose style is not affected or pretentious, but rather, innate...natural: a perfect mate to his expansive vision and voice as a poet.

In A Bee in Monet's Garden, he explores humanity's perception of reality as an existentialist in the absurdity of things and people, seamlessly mixing between beauty and unspeakable horror, space and time, time and space.
