Description

Jill Alexander Essbaum's long poem chapbook explores the intersection of sex and divinity with a unique blend of wordplay and nuanced attention to rhyme and meter. Influenced by various literary traditions, Essbaum's poems bring together seemingly disparate themes in a thought-provoking way. Born in Texas, poet and editor Jill Alexander Essbaum draws on her diverse influences, including Edna St. Vincent Millay, Simon Armitage, and Sylvia Plath, to create a distinctive voice that is both provocative and well-crafted. Her poems have been praised for their memorable imagery and unique realization of form. This chapbook showcases Essbaum's remarkable ability to balance eroticism and religiosity in a way that is both surprising and compelling.
