Format:Paperback
Zackary Berger's collection of poems has much to offer, even to one, like myself, who doesn't understand the Yiddish poems in his new book. I found myself smiling in recognition of moments of intimacy captured in poems like "Loving the World," and captivated by the poet's vision in poem-fables like "The Planet of Twos." This small volume has something to discover each time you open it.
