Books by Alan Eglinton

Only the fires say offers a methodical sequence of images a visual and perceptive narrative. The assonances and dissonances between the impressions (hot and cold, empty and full, slow and fast . ) are orchestrated by subtle transitions, thanks to which each image is "read" in the light of the trace left in memory by the previous. The idea of ??combustion is prologue from the first image. It thus introduces a leitmotiv that will soon deploy throughout the book, the fire announcing the end of a season. Through a methodical sequencing, Only the fires say forms a visual and perceptual story. The assonant and dissonant impressions are subtle transitions, each image being "read" in the light of its predecessor. The idea of ??combustion is suggested in the work's very first image. It therefore introduces a leitmotiv that runs throughout the book, the fires announcing the end of a season.
