Playing Mantis: A Workbook for Inner Peace and a Playbook for the Revolution

Playing Mantis is the spiritual autobiography of a praying mantis, an allegorical memoir, and the lyrics to the author's wordless music.

D'Ann Katsu's writing also sings-like the impossible vocal range of her concerts-in a voice free of gender, culture, and even species.Playful as it is poetic and profound, Playing Mantis redefines god, sex, birth, and death.

It is also a fresh and integrated contemplation of the universe Herself.

It is timeless and timely, global, and uniquely American myth that embraces this condition we all share."Playing Mantis is a work of genius.

It is the right book, at the right time." Author, artist, and spiritualist, Carol HiltnerIt is not the story of good versus evil-again.

Ultimately, and in the end, Playing Mantis is a story about real magic.KatsuDavis.com
