Dad Vs. Dad by Helen Mort prizewinning separatingIn November 2021, Helen Morts father had two life altering strokes. Dad vs. Dad is an account of the aftermath of those strokes. In this hardback multi media pamphlet length collection, Helen Mort combines lyric poetry with visual text pieces involving erasure poetry made from working with one of her father's favourite chess books. The effects of a stroke and stroke recovery are documented through the language of strategy and struggle.
