Hurricane Mouth by Amanda Oaks!
Hurricane Mouth is a 40 page chapbook of 25 poems by Pennsylvanian poet Amanda Oaks. Oaks is the founding editor of Words Dance Publishing, and her work has appeared widely, including in Dressing Room Poetry Journal, Glamour, Elle, and Artful Blogging. Check out her website at AmandaOaks.com, and her publishing at WordsDance.com!
Oaks "believes in our collective & creative freedom & enjoys laughing more than most anything." Her beautiful spirit shines throughout the 25 fascinating and accomplished poems in Hurricane Mouth. In "How to Pick Up the Pieces", she writes
You will outgrow this. You are lion's
teeth. You are medicine tongue.
Your roots are resilience. When
you have your heart under a
magnifying glass the only thing
left to do is sing for the sun &
light yourself on fire. Be ready
for the next good gust but
remember that you are not
a candle. You are not a match.
You are a goddamn wildfire.
