In her second collection, Erin Noteboom draws on the Bible to create vivid and thought-provoking poetry. Fearlessly, Noteboom considers the psalms, proverbs, the traditional stories of the Bible, and other ideas of religion. Always, she writes from the unexpected point-of-view. She writes of Leah’s experience, and Cain’s —rather than Jacob’s and Abel’s. The psalms contain praise of dishwater, and Noteboom doesn’t hesitate to comment on more extreme forms of religious conviction. A fascinating and intriguing book.

Product Description
From the Inside Flap
"Erin Noteboom's is an elemental poetry of bones, salt, water, dust, and at the same time a celebration of all things as holy. In these arias of praise and prayer, her gift is to flare the ordinary detail as well as the extraordinary event into vision, meaning, and the magnification of spirit." — Jane Hirshfield
"The praise, the hymn, the humility wrestling with the lover's urge for God, the absolute feel for the flesh and blood of the mystics, the prophets and those simply redeemed in frailty; Noteboom writes the finest theophanic poetry being written in this country." — Pier Giorgio Di Cicco
