Description
"The Patron captivates with a lush story told through dreamy verses. Dark and sensual, readers are submerged into the depths of powerful images and even more powerful emotions. Fevered thoughts and gorgeous shadows dance throughout these expressive lines, culminating in a memorable siren song."
-Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil's Dreamland
Advance Praise
“A disquieting collection. The Patron lures you in with its lyricism only to cut you deep with its unsettling insights on art and inspiration.”
—Caitlin Marceau, award-winning author of This Is Where We Talk Things Out
“The Patron offers a striking poetic dance between beauty and ugliness, tenderness and ferocity, creation and destruction. Antonia Rachel Ward's short, incisive poems use masterfully chosen and juxtaposed images to explore the dark consequences of art and passion. This poetry collection is a moonlit window into the human psyche, the threat of falling into illusion while searching for truth, the danger that comes with risking everything for love, art, or both.”
—Stephanie Parent, author of The Briars and Every Poem a Potion, Every Song a Spell
