"See what you can do with these," a note says. That's the fun of it--how to tangle and untangle and spin and loop and allude with such a limited (and expansive) tool kit.

And that we work independently.(less)

I'm not certain why. I know that because I write across genres (memoir, short fiction, novel, poetry) it means that when one genre is being tough to crack, I can switch to another. (less)

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an exceptional page-turning read. It IS the story of the gruesome horrors bestowed upon this woman, with just enough details but not too much either. However, this book is SO much more than this tortuous part.

“Advice from a Caterpillar

Chew your way into a new world.
Munch leaves. Molt. Rest. Molt
again. Self-reinvention is everything.
Spin many nests. Cultivate stinging
bristles. Don't get sentimental
about your discarded skins. Grow
quickly. Develop a yen for nettles.
Alternate crumpling and climbing. Rely
on your antennae. Sequester poisons
in your body for use at a later date.
When threatened, emit foul odors
in self-defense. Behave cryptically
to confuse predators: change colors, spit,
or feign death. If all else fails, taste terrible.”
Amy Gerstler, Dearest Creature
