I love her\u003c\/b\u003e — KAE TEMPEST\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her devastatingly powerful debut collection, Cecilia Knapp examines the experience of motherlessness and its lasting impact, as well as the lessons passed between generations of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese poems explore women's complicated relationship with their bodies, with sex, and with shame as she traverses the violence of romantic love, but also employs humour and mischief, a wry reclaiming of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe hear stories of a challenging childhood in a seaside town, a girl growing up, getting out and reckoning with the guilt of being 'one of these people now.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection also offers a look at Knapp's close relationship with her older brother, his struggles with addiction and, eventually, his death. With tenderness, she remembers him and unpacks the unique grief that comes after a suicide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeach Pig\u003c\/i\u003e is a candid and unflinching look at loss, an attempt to find a language for it. It grapples with feelings of anxiety, insecurity and displaced anger; but it is also a collection full of dreams, hope and vibrant persistence, a willingness to question and to carry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47426977693932,"sku":"9781472156815","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781472156815.jpg?v=1774767749","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/peach-pig-by-cecilia-knapp-9781472156815","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
