Grief is an emotion which, as humans, we will inevitably have to face on at least one occasion throughout our life. It is an emotion which can be challenging, sometimes even impossible to describe. Les Contemplations features a collection of poems in which Hugo’s grief is represented in many different forms, some beautiful and some haunting.
