Ted Roberts review of
Light at the End, The Jesus Poems
by Lyn Lifshin

Light at the End. Kept me up till now (it’s 3:45 a.m). My mind may not go to sleep at all now. Will resist the urge to say “JESUS CHRIST, What a book!” I’ve actually read parts of the book 3 times +, with plans to re-re-re-read them again….as I do most of her work. Certainly, I enjoyed it but not in the same ways I’ve enjoyed some of her other books. After all, THIS book is “different.” It’s serious/amusing/sardonic/sarcastic/insightful/sexy/provocative/…it inspires a whole thesaurus of feelings!

Suffice it to say the book is more than worth the read by anyone with a mind open enough to recognize it’s power
