Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
"Karen Alkalay-Gut's work is never less than a carnival of her (and our) multiple selves. She is funny, tragic, sensual, powerful, poignant, sharply intelligent, and above all, alive."
--Alicia Ostriker

5.0 out of 5 stars
the c.n.n. of the soul,
By sharon moldavi (tel aviv Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In My Skin (Paperback)
deeply involved with the recent and troubled history of both the jewish people and the state of isreal, these great poems uncover, touch , and may help in healing some of the most painfull human scars known to all immigrants, all victims, all of us feeling unsafe in our own home , already marked as the targets of the next war. with humor, eye for detail and compassion, "in my skin" carries a rare urgency, lacking from most poetry written today. reading it, you might find that you've been exposed beneath your own skin more than you were willing to.
