Consider the Body, Winged

by Jessica E. Pierce

Overview

"Electric . . . threaded with gods and angels, earthquakes and asteroids, and ever-present visitors from the kingdom Animalia. Like the many species of wasps that inhabit these pages, Pierce's writing is attentive, sharp, and paper-winged. I was taken in by every atom of these poems, feeling, as I read, 'My heart catching / on all their hearts.'"

-Brittney Corrigan, author of Daughters
