I Know Myself as Thief is a collection of poetry and photography  by Jo-Ann Iannotti, a Litchfield, Connecticut, resident, Dominican Sister of Hope, and lifelong poet and photographer. “People have been encouraging me for years to put my poetry and photography together in a book. Finally doing it, I’ve learned new things about the power of the word and the power of an image.”

"Deeply felt, her poems have a stunning simplicity. Her photographs capture precisely the natural world. Her voice, at once humble and authoritative, speaks through all.  An artist to her fingertips, she reveals the sacred to be found in all creation."
—Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, playwright, novelist, and filmmaker
