Drawing together Jennifer A. McGowan's poetry of myth and folktale, and the frailties - human or otherwise - behind them, With Paper for Feet explores, mostly from a female perspective, the guts it takes to live or - often - die, un-heroically. Her characters laugh, argue, complain, suffer,curse. ...Gold is heavy,and chafes.... aware that more is expected of them, but unwilling to play up. Praise for Jennifer A. McGowan's work...gritty thought; wit; striking candour an unafraid recognitionof life's richness and desolation; memorable detail; all these areunderpinned by a graceful, subtle, quite lovely way with language. Kevin Crossley-Holland...bedecked with wit, irony, bittersweet folly and dictional-shiftsjazzy enough to make a reader dance. Gray Jacobik... precise, observant and deep into mythology.
