Beschreibung
How do we come to terms with loss. How do we find love after tragedy. How can art and language help us to cope with life, and honor the dead. How does one act responsibly in a world that is both beautiful, full of suffering, and balanced precariously on the edge of despair and ruin. With humor, anger and great tenderness, Richard Michelson's poems explore the boundaries between the personal and the political, and the connections between history and memory. Growing up under the shadow of the Holocaust, in a Brooklyn neighborhood consumed with racial strife, Michelson's experiences were far from ordinary, yet they remain too much a part of the greater circle of poverty and violence to be dismissed as merely private concerns, safely past. It is Michelson's sense of humor and acute awareness of Jewish history, with its ancient emphasis on the fundamental worth of human existence that makes this accessible book, finally, celebratory and life-affirming.
