Daddy shark

DADDY author Jake ByrneWow this is an excellent collection of poetry DADDY by Jake Byrne explores parental intergenerational trauma mental illness and kink I really like the dichotomy in interchanging the word DADDY to mean father in some contexts but dom as in BDSM in others The clever wordplay throughout the collection kept me on my toes As someone with bipolar disorder II who has experienced psychosis and mania I found the poems about Byrne s own experiences with mania enlightening and relatable There are many poetry collections out there now about mental illness that brush on acute depression and the struggle to leave the house get out of bed etc but uglier symptoms of mental health diagnoses are seldom discussed It is very refreshing to see representation of severe mental illness in DADDY The importance of honest representation is something I along with other readers of marginalized identities know firsthand It s one reason why books can be so powerful Overall DADDY kept me engaged throughout the entire collection and left me eager to read of Byrne s work This book of poetry is an easy five stars Thank you to Brick Books for my copy Poetry ARC given by Edelweiss for Honest ReviewA playful and intimate look at toxic masculinity and patriarchy through a queer lens The writing is stunning and raw using well formed metaphor to recount familial trauma and heartache.
