Product Description:
First Prize Winner in the Writer's Digest 15th Annual Self Published Book Awards, this beautifully designed poetry collection is an passionate reflection of the poet's multicultural heritage and the conflicts it engenders. Spare and direct, these poems cry out with the voice of a woman whose life has been shaped by the Holocaust that robbed her of a family, by the North America she abandoned and the Israel she adopted, by the sons she raised in peace who found themselves at war, by the ideals she grew up with and the reality she lives with. Sometimes with humor, affection and nostalgia,sometimes with irony, regret and anger, but always with passion, insight and honesty, the poems in Parentheses provide a condensed powerful expression of our era.
