With Paper for Feet

Drawing together Jennifer A. McGowans 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. McGowans work ...gritty thought; wit; striking candour an unafraid recognition of lifes richness and desolation; memorable detail; all these are underpinned by a graceful, subtle, quite lovely way with language. Kevin Crossley-Holland ...bedecked with wit, irony, bittersweet folly and dictional-shifts jazzy enough to make a reader dance. Gray Jacobik ... precise, observant and deep into mythology.
