They F*ck You Up, Your Mam and Dad (Cuttlefish Books Poetry)

By Adele Evershed

A collection of Japanese short-form poetry from Adele Evershed.

"Because Adele's writing is so deeply personal, so deeply human, the themes she explores in this collection are things we can all understand, and feel, through her haiku. This exploration of the often mercurial relationships one has with one's parents is at times stark, confronting and gritty, and at others tender, honest, and reflective. Tracking the arc of a life, this book contains many powerful, poignant poems that detail those pivotal moments in a way that will stay in one's mind long after reading."Joe Woodwardeditor, Wales Haiku Journal "They F*ck You Up, Your Mam and Dad is mesmerizing in its razor sharp wit and deft application of language, double meanings and characteristic elevated wordplay. A highly pertinent and timely collection, the tremendously perceptive Adele Evershed confronts a timeless concern and reality, bringing the golden past and shambolic present crashing into discourse with some of the most cheeky and pleasurable juxtaposition you will anywhere encounter."Jerome Berglundeditor, Nun Prophet Press
