Part elegy, part celebration, and full of lush descriptions of the natural world, this collection reckons with memory, aging, and the author’s Jewish-Ukrainian heritage.
From the endless star-filled skies of her chosen high-desert home to the lakes and farmland of her New England childhood to the imagined villages of her Ukrainian ancestors, award-winning poet Barbara Rockman reaches for belonging. Rockman’s Jewish heritage is woven through her searches for the ineffable, complemented by ruminations on aging, memory, and our place in the natural world. Grief sings here, tempered by grace and gratitude in this powerful collection by a poet at the height of her craft.
