Featured Work
Living Like Lions and Bears
A feral Goldilocks gnaws bones given her by Mother Bear, a newly-formed woman escapes her creator by sprouting wings and talons, and android women suspect they are not being told the truth. Fairy tales, myth, science fiction, and memory combine and shapeshift. Each of these poems by Sara Amis is a door, and once you pass through the ground may shift suddenly under your feet or you may wake up and learn that a hundred years passed while you were sleeping.
This chapbook published by Bottlecap Press contains previously unpublished poems as well as poems that were previously published in an anthology of feminist speculative poetry called The Moment of Change, an anthology of Georgia poets called Stone, River, Sky, literary magazines NonBinary Review, Stirring, Devilfish Review, and elsewhere.
