Domesticity
Jennifer Anne Moses's debut poetry collection ranges across the full terrain of a life lived fully — death and mortality, the sexuality of long marriage, nature, aging, and the ever-present pull of Jewish faith and family. Stripped down and compressed, these poems arrive complete, hinting toward essential truths rather than explaining them.
From meditations on the Jewish calendar ("Tishrei," "Kohelet") to unflinching explorations of the body, loss, and self-reclamation, Domesticity marks the arrival of a poet who brings to verse the same generosity and fierce attention that has distinguished her fiction and nonfiction for decades.
"Moses goes toe-to-toe with death, sex, Judaism, and family — and the poems arrive complete, in full color."

"All her work functions as spiritual expression — art emerging from the Divine, rendered in the compressed, essential form of poetry."
— Vita Poetica
