Dear Dad You're Dead Dear Dead You're Dad

<p><strong>Poems essays and reflections from a youngest daughter</strong></p><p>In what began as a letter to her deceased father <em>Dear Dad: You're Dead Dear Dead: You're Dad</em> 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.</p><p>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. <em>Dear Dad: You're Dead Dear Dead: You're Dad</em> 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.</p>
