Böcker av Jennifer Anne Moses

"In her first collection of poetry, Jennifer Anne Moses takes on death, aging, nature, sex, abuse, Judaism, and family. She deploys language in its lucid, informal and American vernacular, using it as a vehicle to express the human yearning to be in a relationship with the Divine"--

Eighteen-year-old Joshua Cushing wakes up in a psych ward, not knowing how he got there. Worse, he has only one eye. And no one in his family will tell him what happened to his girlfriend, Sophie. The one thing he knows for sure is that something happened, leaving him with a self and a life he barely recognises.

A memoir that embraces both pathos and humor, this work takes us into a world that is strange and sad but also suffused with the holy. It recounts the challenges of taking on a life committed to God in a postmodern world that has little use for the divine.
