Title: Skyspeak
First published: 2005
Description: "In her second collection, Jan Heller Levi offers ardent, 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 Once I Gazed at You in Wonder."--Jacket.
