Fairy tales, myth, science fiction, and memory combine and shapeshift. Each of these poems by Sara Amis is a door, and once you pass through the ground may shift suddenly under your feet or you may wake up and learn that a hundred years passed while you were sleeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAmis' body of work skips lightly across genres: journalism, creative nonfiction, fiction including science fiction, fantasy, \u0026amp; magical realism, and of course poetry. Both her fiction and poetry include a dash of the surreal even when, perhaps especially when, dealing with the everyday occurrences of life. In Amis' world, there is no such thing as ordinary. Everything is underpinned with a fleeting glimpse of spirit, quantum uncertainty, and the misgiving that what you cannot see, still sees you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSara Amis holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Georgia, where she also taught for ten years more or less.
