I think Hélène's writing is quite moving and most interesting, Ruth. Difficult to write her style of poetry these days without it descending into pretension, whimsy or new-age folderol. She avoids this skilfully. In my own opinion, this is serious and beautifully-written stuff.
A very good review, which encapsulates a writer who defies boundaries and makes me want to read more of her work.
