Synopsis
Phil & Me is a daughter's use of photography to try to understand her relationship with her father and the schizophrenia that has crippled him. Amanda's father, Philip Tetrault, is a poet who has lived with schizophrenia since he attended McGill University, in Montreal, at the age of 21. As a young man, Philip was suffused with promise, hailed by Leonard Cohen in 1986 as one of the best young poets in Canada--before he slipped into yet another schizophrenic void. These photographs cover six years of sporadic meetings between Amanda and her father. Throughout, Philip had been giving her scraps of paper and napkins with verses and lines scrawled on them: some are published here. Photo booth pictures that span the past 27 years form a visual narrative thread. Philip is now a part of the streets and the shadows of Montreal. The reality of his days--moving through the caf s and parks of the city, his habitual Mickey of vodka in hand, and his acquaintances of street kids, squirrels, crows and seagulls--haunt these photographs and his poems alike.

Amanda Tetrault: Phil And Me (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The book is Amanda's exploration into the world of her father, Philip Tetrault - a poet who has lived with schizophrenia since he attended McGill University at the age of 21. Philip was a poet suffused with promise, and was hailed by Leonard Cohen as one of the best young poets in Canada in 1986 before he slipped into yet another schizophrenic void. The photographs cover six years of sporadic meetings between Amanda and her father. Throughout Philip has been giving her scraps of paper and napkins with verses and lines scrawled on them: some are published here. Photobooth pictures that span the past 27 years form the thread that binds the visual narrative. Philip is now a part of the streets and the shadows of Montreal. He has spent winters living on Park Mont Royal or under his unwitting aunt's porch in Westmount or 'vestibuling' - a word he coined after his habit of taking refuge in vestibules to avoid the bitter Montreal cold. The reality of his days - moving through the cafes and parks of Montreal, his habitual Mickey of vodka in hand, and his acquaintances of street kids, squirrels, crows and seagulls - haunt these photographs and his poems. A daughter's use of photography to try to understand her relationship with her father and the disease that has crippled him. Amanda's exploration into the world of her father, Philip Tetrault, a poet who has lived with schizophrenia since age 21. The photographs cover six years of sporadic meetings between Amanda and her father. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
