“With wry self-deprecating humor, Elizabeth Poreba shares a clear-eyed view of the latter part of life. She pursues a quest for understanding as she intertwines urban existence, religion, and the natural world in unexpected ways, for example, inserting a dog—a labrador—as the means of preventing the loss of Eden and describing a grandchild as ‘my DNA cunningly packaged, his little cap covering potential crackpot notions.’”

“Where else would you find a poem connecting the bombing of Hiroshima and the Feast of the Transfiguration? Derived from her deep study of religion and life lived and examined, Elizabeth Poreba's poems are unflinching explorations, truth-facing: 'That's my self on the way out.' With her signature wry humor, Poreba--thoughtful, feminist--opens new interpretations on old stories, from Jonah to female saints, showing that questioning can be reaffirmation of faith.”
