Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Mae casgliad newydd o gerddi Pascale Petit yn cario enw'r sŵ ym Mharis sy'n aflonyddu ar ei dychymyg. Wrth galon y gyfrol mae trawma plentyndod a hanes tad sy'n marw, ond y sŵ ei hun sy'n hawlio'r llwyfan, lle mae'r jagwar du Aramis a'r anifeiliaid gwyllt yn llywodraethu.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
Fauverie , the new Seren poetry collection by Pascale Petit is named after the Parisian zoo that haunts her imagination. This book has childhood trauma and a dying father at its heart, while Paris takes centre stage, a theatre haunted by Aramis the black jaguar and the wild animals of the menagerie.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
The Fauverie of this book is the big-cat house in the Jardin des Plantes zoo. But the word also evokes the Fauves, 'primitive' painters who used raw colour straight from the tube. Like The Zoo Father, Petit's acclaimed second collection, this volume has childhood trauma and a dying father at its heart, while Paris takes centre stage - a city savage as the Amazon, haunted by Aramis the black jaguar and a menagerie of wild animals. Transforming childhood horrors to ultimately mourn a lost parent, Fauverie redeems the darker forces of human nature while celebrating the ferocity and grace of endangered species.
