Bare Bones and Teacups

About the Book

Passionate, rebellious, and always searching, writer and artist Lana DeGeorge Santorelli takes her readers on a journey through the heart of life. Brainy, curious, and profoundly reflective, her poems draw us into a dream world, wrapping us in their spell. Santorelli compels attention, her direct, fearless voice intimately revealing a world of longing and rapture, a realm in which humans walk with the angels, tied to both earth and spirit. Intense, pure, and committed to life, she shakes up the world—both her own and ours. “I just love to provoke,” she says, “I can’t help it. It’s my nature.”
