Publisher Marketing: Forgive the Animal, the luminous and stunning debut collection from Sarah Pape, explores rural poverty, sexual abuse and its reverberations, young motherhood, and the path back to oneself through forgiveness of the self and others. With environmental collapse, too, as both metaphor and reality, Pape's poems seek to understand a future after surviving multiple shattering events, in both the personal and collective experiences of great loss.
