Pascale will give an illustrated reading from her latest collection What the Water Gave Me: Poems after Frida Kahlo, which was shortlisted for both the T.S. Eliot Prize and Wales Book of the Year.
The poems are written in the voice of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo.
More than just a verse biography, the book evokes how art works on the pain spectrum.
“Pascale’s poems are as fresh as paint, and make you look all over again at Frida and her brilliant and tragic life.” Jackie Kay, Books of the Year Observer. “Petit’s collection, exploring the way trauma hurts an artist into creation, celebrates the rebarbative energy with which Kahlo redeemed pain and transformed it into paint.” Ruth Padel (The Guardian)
Price: £8.00 / £7.00
