Over Under Fed

perhaps the good things
that come to those who wait
are the leftovers
of those who have
already waited.

In her debut collection, Amy Marguerite explores the peculiar loveliness and specific loneliness of the human condition. Writing from experiences with anorexia nervosa, limerence and a particularly tumultuous situationship, these poems act as a confessional to hunger, desire and immoderation.

Precise, vivid and sometimes disturbing in detail, over under fed seeks to reconcile chaos and recovery.

o heathenry pinfeather
uncreated creature
just eat.
