Another Word for Sky is the first collection of poetry by Jay Michaelson, author of last yearŐs God in Your Body and chief editor of the literary magazine Zeek. Like the author, the poems are expansive in their scope, from Ashbery-like analytics to raucous queer mystical love poems, Ginsbergesque rants and fantasies to quiet reflections on the passage of time. A recent finalist for the Koret Young Writer on Jewish Themes Award, Michaelson has been published in Slate, Forward, White Crane, and many other publications.
