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."Levi, Jan Heller is the author of 'Skyspeak Poems', published 2005 under ISBN 9780807131039 and ISBN 0807131032.
