“Life After Death is a stunningly irresistible first book by an important new poet. Its voice is pared down to the emotional core. Its tough, gentle music is a revelation of observation, delicately, wisely felt, with the rare reticence of someone who has ‘been there’ and knows what she (or anyone) has experienced is terribly difficult to convey . . . . This is poetry you can trust and love because in it Jane Rohrer is no one but herself.”—Stephen Berg
