Good Reason
Winner of the 2011 Stevens Poetry Manuscript Competition
"Unflinching in gaze, imbued with a sly wit, the poems in Jennifer Habel's mesmerizing first book capture moments so quietly alive that they function like glass-domed terrariums; you lift a belled lid on a complex, breathing little world."
Lisa Olstein, author of Radio Crackling, Radio Gone
"Once I began, there was no putting it down . . . a compelling portrait that bears the gestural quality of a sketch artist s work, coupled with the psychological pressure and expansiveness of a novelist's."
Jessica Garratt, 2011 Judge, author of Fire Pond
