Already well known for the fierce confessional imagery of her first three books, The Treekeeper's Tale points towards another facet of Pascale Petit's gift, an intense feeling for the natural world, allied with a personal response to historical incidents and to other lands.

Pascale Petit was born in Paris, grew up in France and Wales and lives in London. She has published six collections of poetry. Her latest book Fauverie is shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize. Five poems from it won the 2013 Manchester Poetry Prize. Her fifth collection What the Water Gave Me: Poems after Frida Kahlo was shortlisted for both the TS Eliot Prize and Wales Book of the Year. This book has gone into a number of reprintings and was Jackie Kay’s Book of the Year in the Observer. Black Lawrence Press published a US edition in 2011. Four of Pascale’s collections have been shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize and were also Books of the Year in the Times Literary Supplement, Observer and the Independent. Her second collection The Zoo Father was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation and was published in Mexico and Serbia. A poem from it was shortlisted for a Forward Prize. Her Selected Poems are published in China. In 2004 the Poetry Book Society selected Pascale as one of the Next Generation Poets. In 2013 she was shortlisted for the Medicine Unboxed Creative Prize. She has won numerous awards, including five from Arts Council England, and regularly appears in major festivals. She trained as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art and was a visual artist for the first part of her life. She is widely travelled, including in the Venezuelan Amazon, China and Nepal. She has worked as Poetry Editor for Poetry London and currently tutors popular poetry courses at Tate Modern and for The Poetry School.
