Edward Thomas at Arras: A Response in Word and Image

Edward Thomas at Arras: A Response in Word and Image by Deryn Rees-Jones and Charlotte Hodes, is a chapter in the new book, Edward Thomas’s Roads from Arras, edited by Andrew McKeown and Adrian Grafe, published by Cambridge Scholars. Rees-Jones and Hodes reflect on their collaborative project, And you, Helen, which resulted in Rees-Jones’ 12 part poem and images by Hodes that were realized as a film and a book, published by Seren. The chapter also includes Hodes’ specially created lines drawings and book jacket.
