L'oiseau chante comme le lui permet son bec #[nn]

From Akileos in 2014, this French-language work by Godart carries a title as evocative as its cover: L'oiseau chante comme le lui permet son bec — "the bird sings as its beak allows." The cover presents a quietly striking street scene rendered in ink and warm ochre tones, capturing the façade of a Parisian-style building with shop signs, a broad sidewalk, and a corner café or bakery that radiates everyday urban poetry. It's the kind of image that draws you in slowly, promising a graphic work with a thoughtful, literary sensibility.
