Jill Alexander Essbaum‘s publications include the full-length collections Heaven, Harlot, and Necropolis, a chapbook of sonnets, Oh Forbidden, and a single-poem chapbook, The Devastation. Her poems have appeared in religious journals, hoity-toity journals, online journals, formalist journals, and erotic publications. She is obsessed with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, her five cats, puns, sex, Old Time Radio, and God. And: Words. An an associate editor for the journal Anti-, and a blogger for the Best American Poetry blog, she’s presently at work on a novel vaguely based on the time she spent living in Zürich, Switzerland. She believes most firmly that wit trumps irony, clever beats disaffected, and, in all things, sincerity is key.
