Heaven's Not for You Donald Zirilli

From a reviewer: These poems are a cross-section of familiar stories and sayings retold for a modern audience. These are not simple retellings though, like all good poetry, there is a spark here. There are observations that grab your attention. Like the source material, it will seem simple and hard to understand at the same time. It will be hard to ignore. Don't kill the messenger--you already did that. I learned a lot about love, and loneliness, and salt, and the poor (they're still here) no one knows where Josh is--though I'm sure Harold Camping predicted his return. This book has poems I'll come back to read. It has poems that will stay with me. What more could you ask from a collection?
