Reader Reviews:
melancholic, lyrical, spiritual American-Jewish poetry (0/0 people found this helpful)
Poetry that remains in your mind with its light lyricism and its melancholic mood. The book is pervaded by a longing for a kind of Judaism that would link you to the past, but could also be spritually valid in the present. However, despite the many allusions to Biblical and mystical themes in Judaism and despite the almost visual presence of hassidic rabbis, final answers are suspended. Over the poems hangs a sense of loss.
