Cardboard Wings

Cardboard Wings is the debut poetry collection by Piper Bringman, a 14-year-old poet who is coming of age. And, although her writing originally grew from a child’s grief for her beloved pet, it has blossomed into a rich voice of aspiration and charm. Join her as she explores the natural world, and shares her experience as a young curious heart navigating these modern times.

Take the chance to raise your arms
And fly into the sky on cardboard wings
Feel the sun on your shoulders
Get lost for a time
And feel yourself change
