""Am I normal? Do other women feel like this too? Am I totally alone here?"" Spoiler alert! We're all walking shitshows. Some of us are matinee level and some are sold out, opening night, line out the movie theater door level... but shitshows just the same (did anyone bring the popcorn and Milk Duds?). To pretend that we've got it all together and that we're not just winging it as we go along every single day in this spiralling tornado of motherhood fuckery, is just a complete waste of time. Add in motherhood, marriage, a never ending list of to-do's, little time for peace and quiet and maybe a light dusting (or a heaping spoonful) of depression and you've got yourself a sold out blockbuster of a show (that Amy happily shares on the internet)! A peek into a hilarious yet eye opening account of what #momlife is really all about, without the filters and pretentious bullshit. Welcome to the show!

Praise for CRACKER SONNETS by Amy Wright"Readers who love wit will delight in this handbook of pop-culture Americana in verse, where each poem is more daring than the next. Most of these verses are wildly funny. Who taught us that we weren't supposed to enjoy poetry? Wright's poems un-teach dullness, crackle in the mouth like pop rocks. We readers experience the guilty pleasure of watching Wright's neighbors be themselves in all their particularity and odd, naked glory. Leda Burk, for example, "saves pajamas for hospital stays." And nature is welcome, too, to play in this verbal backwoods fest, the book offering "a long love / doing with the sea what sex does, / antennae diddling the floor." We shouldn't be watching, but of course, like Amy Wright, we're living this, too, through expertly crafted language. We become trespassers at the windows of the double-wide, but soon we forget ourselves and frolic in verbal play."--Marilyn Kallet, author of 17 books, including THE LOVE THAT MOVES ME

Auto mechanics and millipedes, auctioneers and citrus longhorn beetles, shimmer into focus the gossamer web that connects Everything in the Universe. Amy Wright's second poetry collection calls attention to treehoppers, buck moths, deer ticks, and other invertebrate survivalists who sound across lawns and canopies, whose startling biodiversity is, as E.O. Wilson says, "all we have." As nations gather to discuss brown-clouded horizons, Wright offers alternatives to covering eyes and ears against eminent realities. When we open the windows, linger over a young mantis climbing toward the door knob, sit still long enough for a hawk moth to light near us, we sense the scope of this time and place we inhabit. Astounded by wonder, we act differently. We make discoveries we never could have imagined-zebra crickets, cobra lilies, love for our in-laws. We might even find it in our hearts to forgive our megalomaniac family, as seen by elders who saw us move into the neighborhood. Who hum and sing and bury us when we're gone.

Think I'll Go Eat a Worm is the reckoning of a farmer's daughter with the looming crisis of the 21st century, which is how to stop the mercury from rising, ice caps from melting, pastures from swinging between droughts and floods, and insects from dying in catastrophic droves. It seems ironic that one solution to the alarming decline in butterflies, bumblebees, and other important pollinators would be to eat bugs, but research indicates that edible insects can make the agriculture industry more efficient and sustainable. Conscientiousness here, though, is never dull, since Wright depicts taste sensations that become available when we open our palates to honeyed crickets, cicada jambalaya, and grasshopper kabobs hot off the grill, their crunchiness a forgotten reminder that humans have long enjoyed such delicacies.

In her opening, Amy Wright explains: "This essay anchors a central thread of dialogue over a dizzying divide. It weaves a decades-plus-worth of questions and answers from a range of discussions I've had with artists, activists, scientists, philosophers, physicians, priests, musicians, and other representatives of the human population. Some of them are famous, some will be, some should be--but all of them refract the light of the unknowable mystery of the self." Folding together conversations from a vast web of thinkers like Dorothy Allison, Rae Armantrout, Gerald Stern, Lia Purpura, Raven Jackson, Wendy Walters, Kimiko Hahn, Philanese Slaughter, and many, many more, Paper Concert depicts every individual as a collective in dire need of preservation. If this book is a paper concert, it is a symphony. Just pull up a chair and listen.
