Singing Me Home

By Carol Lipszyc

Singing Me Home is a collection of lyrical and narrative poems which take the reader through an autobiographical journey and which feature facets of self as memoirist, teacher, musician, daughter of survivors of the Shoah. The poet aims in this collection to honour the gift of language she can channel, the way she would a resonant musical phrase she sings or writes. The poems situate the poet in different locales where she discovered that poetic potential, as Frost once said, can indeed lie in the randomness of events. And she hears an evolving female voice in the poetry, recognizes how her identity is intrinsically linked to her past, and how she has reconstructed that identity as an adaptive and constructive tool.
