Blurbs:

blasts your spirit with a brilliant breeze & then cradles your soul after the storm... - Amanda Oaks

it's the missing pocket back a pair of jeans once held the coin remnant of the bought rose. - Barton D. Smock

Not Enough To Fold is a gorgeously beautiful book of truly exquisite poems. The subtle emotion and meticulous craft of the poems and the tender and joyous spirit of the poet are perfectly framed in an immaculately presented volume worthy of any collection. The poetry is perfect and the book itself is a work of art. - Paul Squires

Bio:    Amanda Joy is a poet, sculptor, installation artist & songwriter born in the Kimberley region of W.A. She currently lives, works & gardens in Fremantle & travels as often as she can, mostly between France & Australia. Her poetry has been published in various journals online & in print such as Up The Staircase Literary Review, Numbat, Killpoet, Fragile Arts Quarterly, Alabaster and Mercury, Heroin Love Songs, The Toronto Quarterly & Black Listed Magazine. She has a fascination with portals & conduits & every now and then she pops out a little limited edition illustrated chapbook for those who ask nicely. A more sizeable binding of her wordage is gestating. Currently exploring the internet & its' "rhizome" effect, with particular attention to social collectives of poets & artists, she blogs her poetry semi-regularly at her website Little Glass Pen & her myspace blog. Keeper of a dog called Love, her heart still beats like small pink feet on red earth.
