This is poetry from the margins of Jewish life—voices, subjects, and use of language that open new consciousness about who Jews are and suggest how we can act in the world, with others, to lessen human suffering. These are words you will want to have and save. There are many thematic threads in this poetry: knowledge learned through our bodies, loss and dislocation, compassion and optimism. These Jewish feminist poets are in dialogue with each each other, and with the readers, even if never meeting face to face. The conversation is deep and stirring and begs all of us to be involved.
