Poet Deryn Rees-Jones and artist Charlotte Hodes have created a
unique approach to the life of Helen Thomas, and through her to the
women, and children, left behind by the fatalities of war. Helen
Thomas was widowed when her husband the war poet Edward Thomas was
killed at the battle of Arras in 1917. On the centenary of the
First World War this specially commissioned collaboration explores
Helen's loss, and the loss of all war widows, through poetry, prose
and art. Rees-Jones's sequence takes as its starting point Thomas's
only poem addressed directly to his wife , 'And you, Helen'.
Rees-Jones's poem imagines Helen after Edward's death, and is
complemented by a meditative essay on the complexities of the
relationship between the poet and his family, and on war, grief,
marriage and bereavement more generally: a critical exploration
through a personal lens. Charlotte Hodes takes Rees-Jones's
touchstone for her own exploration of these themes through thirteen
of her distinctive collages and prints, which extend her body of
work about the changing position of women since the eighteenth
century.
