With Paper for Feet is themed and narrative, drawing together Jennifer A. McGowan's poetry of myth and folktale, and the frailties - human and otherwise - behind them. With Paper for feet explores, mostly from a female persepctive, the guts it takes to live or - often -die, un-heroically. her characters laugh, argue, complain, suffer, curse,

Jennifer explores many voices including the women of Troy & many of Shakespeare’s characters, as well as poems based in other cultures including France, Africa & China.
