Publisher: Bloodaxe Books Ltd
Pascale Petits' Tiger Girl marks a significant departure from her previous work, which focused on the Amazonian rainforests, as she delves into her grandmother's Indian heritage and the diverse fauna and flora of the subcontinental jungles. The grandmother, known as Tiger Girl, not only shares captivating tales of wild tigers but also introduces Petit to the endangered predators she encountered during her travels in Central India. Through vibrant and poignant ecopoems, Petit celebrates the resilience and saving grace of love amidst a challenging childhood, showcasing mesmerizing visions of nature and poignant images of poaching and species extinction. Tiger Girl represents Pascale Petits' eighth collection, her second publication with Bloodaxe, following Mama Amazonica, which won the prestigious Royal Society of Literatures Ondaatje Prize 2018. This remarkable achievement made history as the first poetry book to win this award for a work of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry that best captures the essence of a particular place. Furthermore, Tiger Girl has been shortlisted for the 2020 Forward Prize for Best Collection, adding to its recognition and acclaim. Notably, four of Petits' earlier collections were also shortlisted for the prestigious T.S. Eliot Prize, further solidifying her position as a prominent poet in the literary landscape.
