Description

The Zoo Father by Pascale Petit is a powerful and intense collection of poems that explore the complex relationship between a daughter and her dying father. Rich in vivid imagery, these poems transform the brutal facts of their past into art through the author's fierce imagination. Petit draws on her own experiences to create a unique and unflinching portrayal of violence and abandonment, yet also finds ways to redeem and transcend these themes. In contrast, her 'Vineyard' series is inspired by her mother and a family vineyard in France, offering a different perspective on the power of nature and heritage. With its raw emotion and unapologetic honesty, this poetry collection is sure to evoke strong responses from readers.
