And Job Lies in the Feedlot Where He Fell

What if the poet who wrote The Book of Job heard the story from Job’s wife, but then betrayed her by retelling it for his own purposes, leaving her out? This long poem imagines what she revealed to the poet as she lay dying. Here is the untold story of Sitis and her understanding of women and men, youth and age, war and peace, death and life.
