Jennie Malboeuf, "God Had a Body: Poems "

The mind and the body. The heavens and earth. God and animal. The speaker in God had a body considers how the image of a higher power is presented to her, beginning with a Catholic upbringing in Kentucky. Speckled with stars and peopled with creatures, these poems employ a trinity of sequences that address a present, past, and possible future―from a troubled reckoning with belief to loss and promise still ahead.
