Description

Douglas Kearney's Patter Poems is a powerful exploration of love, hate and fatherhood. In this collection, he reimagines miscarriages as minstrel shows, magic tricks, and comic strips, and interrogates the complexities of family life. Through his characteristic blend of wit and emotional depth, Kearney probes the line between love and hate, revealing how it bleeds into "fatherhood". With characteristic doggedness, he worries at the boundaries between these emotions, creating a work that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. With its unique blend of humor, pathos and intellectual curiosity, Patter Poems is a compelling addition to any poetry collection.
