Beskrivelse
Brian Fournier creates art while writing poetry in no less than what he identifies as an act of survival. He shares his evocative art and poetry in About My Cat and Other Tales. Survival requires sharp personal insights as well as astute assessments of one's surroundings. With pen and ink drawings along with poetry deeply personal and sometimes edgy, Fournier reveals both skills.
Fournier's poetry comes alive in complex underpinnings that emerge in sharing of a simple moment, such as a communication with his cat. The gentle tone rewards the reader with the sweetness of innocent intention followed by a gut punch of acute pain from an abrupt act that annihilates the sweetness.
The poems sweep broadly through autobiographical childhood episodes and into the angst and challenges of Fournier's transformative adult persona. Through it all, Fournier never wavers from speaking his truth with a genuine and skillful voice.
