Crucible Womb is poetry about the journey to the authentic self. According to author Charlie O' Hay, Jill's poems are, "songs of human interconnection, deeply rooted in the power of the natural world. They are “we” poems, both embracing and contemplative. As fingers might trace an old scar or explore the body of a new lover, these poems address both the gamble and pain of humility and grace."
