Amy Jannotti - ANGELS & INSECTS ARE CREATURES WITH WINGS
The rarest animal is the one that survives.
from TO BE LOVED & CARRIED BY THE NECK

ANGELS & INSECTS ARE CREATURES WITH WINGS is a 27-poem exploration of the feminine body: how socialization affects our relationship with the feminine body, how religion shames women for the simple act of having bodies, and how to exist as feminine in a body you cannot claim, because you do not love. It is a liberation, a transformation, a reclamation. It seeks God in the butterfly as in the dung beetle. It looks to the sky from knees, in the dirt.
All print sales include a full pdf version of the text.
