Available November, 2007, from Lethe Press:
another word for sky
the new book of poems
by Jay Michaelson
"They say shamans can be in two places at once - the material world and the spirit world. Jay Michaelson can be in both those places at the same time - and more. He is a post-Wittgenstein philosopher, a ravished mystic, a queer Jew, a comedian, and a dazzling poet. Sometimes you will find him, like Whitman, loafing and inviting his soul. Sometimes it feels as if he is walking barefoot on broken glass or on burning coals. I salute his passion, his boundary-breaking, and the ceaseless vitality of his words."
- Alicia Ostriker, author of The Volcano Sequence
