PRAISE:

Gentle and fierce, Siobhan CaseysTyger-Tygeris 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 somethingmuchstronger than it was before.

ThroughoutTyger-TygerSiobhan Casey asks us to appreciate mended beauty. She doesnt try to hide her hurts, but she finds ways, time and again, to celebrate beauty that she presents as ever emerging.Its terrific work through and through, a compact chapbook that speaks to someone whos 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.
