My Converted Father

POETRY BOOK SOCIETY WINTER BULLETIN 2018 WINTER SELECTION Sarah Law's My Converted Father is a touching and tender portrait of a father-daughter relationship. The poetry is infused with warmth and wit, written from the daughter's perspective, it speaks of unremarkable things in remarkably fresh and honest language, completely free of pretension. My Converted Fatheris, at heart, very human collection. About Sarah Law:

Broken Sleep Books are dedicated to works that transcend the page, and are more than just poets writing poetry. We believe the greatest pieces of writing exist outside of expectation, and are written with more than the act of writing in mind. We are particularly devoted to minimalist cover designs (such as the wonderful books by presses like Little Island), and wish to encourage more working-class writers to submit. Our interest lie in the works of J H Prynne, Haruki Murakami, Anne Carson, Ocean Vuong, and Kim Addonizio.
