Read an Excerpt

How can I tell you
that my ancestors are soap,
that I'm descended from soap,

and every morning in the shower
they melt in my hands
and run from my body,

and that as hard as I've tried
there's nothing to hold onto,
nothing that won't rub away.

What People are Saying About This

Wayne Koestenbaum

“Sublimation Point is like a perfect pop song, making the listener glad to be alive. Jason Schneiderman doesn't strive for complication: he wins us over with rueful plain-speaking. He has Anne Sexton's directness, Max Jacob's eye for incongruity. Tragedy enters the picture, and becomes the frame: nowhere do these poems forget their nemesis, mortality.”

Tom Sleigh

“Grave, sweetly questioning, often irreverently funny, Jason Schneiderman's poems about love and death, the Holocaust and family history, self knowledge and self deception give this book a range and tonal variety that is extremely rare for any poet, let alone a first book: Schneiderman has imagined his work broadly, and executed it with great skill, passion, and intelligence.”
