This was a thought-provoking collection of poems centered on the concept of heaven in all its iterations: heaven on earth, what heaven is, heaven as paradise, etc. I greatly enjoyed it and sat with the poems for a long time instead of flying through the collection. Really a great use of imagery and metaphor throughout.

Wow. Every poem hits a different part of my soul. Just seeing ODB in a poem makes me happy then reading lines like "Who the hell's Heaven is this?" just make me crack up. A great follow-up to the Ground.
