These poems by wise, wonderful Abe Louise Young really are heaven to me. As sensual as she is intellectual as she is gigantically celebratory as she is wary, funny, human, playful: Young allows none of these qualities to be sacrificed for the sake of any other. You'll want to let these poems close, so close you feel on your face their "heavy / secret breathing."

The poems in Heaven to Me find paradise in women's bodies. Equally, they direct our delight to the body of each poem, to iambs and ampersands. Abe Louise Young's voice is playful and reverent, and these poems of love and loss reward readers like the kiss of a priestess.
