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. (From Wolsak and Wynn Publishers)
