Amy Leach's virtuosic pen waltzes delightfully between scientific fact, poetic digression, philosophical conjecture, and the comedic. Described as "a descendent of Lewis Carroll and Emily Dickinson," she playfully conjures new words and sounds as her writing celebrates a kind of everybodyism that espouses a redemption for all living beings, not just humans. She aims to discover what happens when thought on the page breaks free of habit and cliches. Part of this involves "an exorcism" rather than the reproduction of personal and cultural programming. Her work is a full-throated celebration of antidogma. "I grew up in a church that taught you all the rules. How to go to heaven, here's what to follow -- and it's all dogmatic," says Amy, adding with a laugh and a paraphrased rendition of Hafez, "But how you really get to heaven is, you get on a drunk mule, and you recite poetry."
