"The title poem of this chapbook is a stunning twist on Emily Dickenson's 'thing with feathers.' If you hunger for tanka that are bold, original and richly-layered, you've come to the right place. The poems are presented one to a page, giving you time to plumb the depths of each one. Each section is introduced by one of Kati's illustrations, which, as you will see, are poetic masterpieces of their own. Listen, I don't usually promote things, not even my own work. But do yourself a favor and get this book." Ken Slaughter Editor, The Tanka Hangout in Ribbons What could be crazier than writing a blurb in the third person for my own tanka book? I don't know!

I can only continue to observe and learn, from my perspective, which is that of a woman, a human in this complex world. We carry misconceptions and statues and wish they would dissolve into dust. We carry ourselves, the ones before us, the future and the ideas of what it means to be a human as we simply try to live in the here and now - fallible and wondrous." - Kati Mohr
