Description

Paolo Bicchieri's debut poetry collection Familial Animals is a haunting and deeply personal exploration of trauma, identity, and transformation. Through deceptively familiar landscapes, the speaker navigates the complexities of an ugly reality, where danger lurks behind every word. The poems in this collection search for ways to keep body and soul intact, even as they confront the darker aspects of human experience. Bicchieri's use of magical realism adds a sense of mysticism to the language, transcending the horrors of trauma with a nod to the transformative power of poetry. By exploring an eating disorder in the context of hauntings, Bicchieri offers a powerful and deeply personal exploration of the human condition, one that seeks redemption and hope through the act of becoming small enough to hide from the monsters that haunt us.
