From the Inside Flap
"Only the best writers put us right at the site of myth and thus assert, for us, our right to be part of the beginning and end of any world, any heaven. That Jill Alexander Essbaum does it so quietly, so delicately, and puts herself, and us, at the center of Heaven itself leads me only to envy. For how else can one convincingly transcend the domestic? There is simply no self-congratulation in these poems. Just a graceful, magical way of taking oneself -- and one's bare uncertainties -- for granted." -- Agha Shahid Ali, Judge
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

An "A " Should Be In Order,
By Tues D Ay (Tower on the Hill, Austin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heaven (Bakeless Prize) (Hardcover)
Jill Essbaum's book is amazing! ... The poems were beautiful and inspirational. How she is able to intertwine God, Death, Evil, and Sexuality is phenominal. Go out and buy this book.
