PRAISE:
“Gentle and fierce, Siobhan Casey’s Tyger-Tyger is a breathtaking contradiction. There are bodies that betray, absent partners, and song after song of survival. Yet, there is so much fruit, an abundance of flowers, and the wonder of a child asking for more ducks, more dahlias, more of what makes life living for. Casey knows there are many ways of mending. But this collection, is mended: the pieces reexamined and restored, into something much stronger than it was before.”
–Vincent Rendoni, author of Dead Chicano Mixtape and A Grito Contest in the Afterlife
“Siobhan Casey’s Tyger-Tyger summons attention, tenacity, and tenderness to the work of hope. Exploring devotion and self-compassion, Casey’s poems link hands with their reader to form a “bridge that glows for miles.”
–Violeta Garcia-Mendoza, author of Songs for the Land Bound
“Throughout Tyger-Tyger Siobhan Casey asks us to appreciate ‘mended beauty.’ She doesn’t try to hide her hurts, but she finds ways, time and again, to celebrate beauty that she presents as ever emerging. It’s terrific work through and through, a compact chapbook that speaks to someone who’s understood herself as broken and emerged stronger at the rewoven break, grateful for the fresh beauty of a world that she and her tyger daughter have the privilege to discover in tandem.”
–Joe Kraus, author of The Kosher Capones and An Accidental Anarchist
