    About this ebook

    Jennie Neighbors’s new book BETWEEN THE TWILIGHT AND THE SKY is a brilliant, engaging adventure for the reader. Great poems in three Cantos wherein we are brought into “the direction the poem must travel” and find “the anomalous you must meet to become.” Hers is a “music that winds.” —ROBIN BLASER
