Amazing!!

These poems spoke to me on such a deep level that I ended up reading a few of them several times. The opening poem, A Blessing over the Stratocaster, took me back to my childhood and the few synagogue services I attended with my grandmother. I didn’t except the level of nostalgia that came with it. All of the music references to my favorite bands that I depended on made me feel seen and heard by someone who understood me. It’s a beautiful collection of poetry that combines music and religion to speak to that troubled self some of us still fight.
