Dear Dad You're Dead, Dear Dead You're Dad: Poems, Essays, and Reflections from a Youngest Daughter

Poems, essays, and reflections from a youngest daughter

In what began as a letter to her deceased father, Dear Dad: You're Dead, Dear Dead: You're Dad was only ever supposed to be a therapy experiment-a way to hold space for the grief, anger, and every little emotion in between that felt as if it were bleeding into every facet of freshman author Audrey Jean's life.

Now, in her first collection of poetry, she aims to take that space and transform it into more than just a reminder of what might have-could have, should have-been. Blending together her family's and her personal past, Audrey's poems twist and adapt humor with hurt, pain with purpose, and tarot with transformation. Dear Dad: You're Dead, Dear Dead: You're Dad brings together an ache for healing, a need to reconcile that which can only be done by herself, and a desire to grow and learn who she is without the shadows of her father, forefathers, and fictional fathers in her way.

About the Author
Jean, Audrey: - Audrey Jean (she/her) knew she was going to be an author one day, she just wasn't sure how. Or when. Let alone of what. When she's not writing something or other, you can usually find her trying to make a dent in her ever-growing TBR pile, working on training her cats to take walks, or stewing over a new cookbook with flour inevitably streaked over her front. If that doesn't work, look in the mirror, spin around twice while saying, "Do you want to watch the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice?" and she'll show up behind you with a bottle of wine, ready to go.
