Paper Cranes: A Collection of Poems

By Jessica Zdenek

There is a place for pain. You can put it into words and in between pages. You can fold it up and create a mystical bird. A paper crane is a symbol of healing, of immortality, of the soul itself.In her emotionally raw prose, Jessica creates sensual and compassionate spaces for the darker facets of human nature, specifically the wounded feminine. Her style and wield of religious imagery challenge patriarchal structures damaging to women and girls and move the reader into the body of the mystical. In her work she explores the tension between the dark masculine, the wounded girl and the divine mother. This is her first published book.
