D’Ann Katsu Davis

Playing Mantis

The Book

Playful, poetic and profound, Playing Mantis is the song within D’Ann’s songs, and the lyrics to her wordless music–and for the wordless in general. Playing Mantis is a fresh and integrated contemplation on god, birth, sex, death, self, society and the UniVerse Herself. It is a blend of mystical realism and allegorical memoir and details the spiritual experiences behind D’Ann’s ancient sounds, and the spiritual traditions behind her instruments. The Ebook includes more than two hours of her original music.
