Skyspeak: Poems

Book Overview
In her much-anticipated second collection, Jan Heller Levi offers ardent, astonishing, individual poems in a trajectory that seems to suggest a story of one woman's life. But it's the realm of almost, the places of in-between - where rage and resignation, death and rebirth, the sayable and the unsayable, cannot be untwined - that Levi explores in the simultaneously harrowing and haunting Skyspeak. Here again are the delicious humor and the disarming directness - coupled with what Alice Fulton has called Levi's wicked ear - that graced her award-winning Once I Gazed at You in Wonder. Here again are poems so alive, as the author writes, it's killing me.

Anatomy lesson
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is poetry as it was meant to be...fun, enjoyable. The best poem in the book is called "Anatomy Lesson" and it conjures up some amazing images, especially the heart. Jan Heller Levi imagines the heart as an anthropomorphic writer, pounding away missives just as she is probably pounding away at her typewriter, writing these poems.
