Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

“Thoughtful, elegant, and wise, Night said explores the complexities of what it means to be a twenty-first-century Jew living in the Diaspora. Throughout her latest collection, Barbara Rockman simultaneously looks back—both to the distant ancestral past and to more recent histories of displacement—as well as forward into the future. ‘Travel small,’ the book advises, but, in fact, the speaker travels very large, carrying enormous stories, rituals, traumas, and memories in her ‘overpacked valise.’ These are poems that wander from the flowering, desert landscapes of New Mexico to the rivers and fields of Ukraine and back again, crossing from generation to generation, searching for angels that ‘swarm and lean into each retold tale.’” - Jehanne Dubrow, author of The Arranged Marriage: Poems
