from the back cover of
Leaving the Garden
This is a collection of poetic "midrashim" where the poet puts herself in the place of the Biblical characters, both central and minor, imbuing the stories with a sensuous immediacy that does not lose the sense of the awesomeness of the events, their significance for all coming generations.
Esther Cameron, Editor, The Deronda Review, author of The Consciousness of Earth and other works.
The emphasis in this collection is on the woman's voice, for women, more than men, remain voiceless in the Bible's narrative. While some of the poems are in a whimsical or humorous mood, many of them display the existential aloneness at the heart of the Biblical characters, a feeling with which many of us can identify.
Seventeen line-drawings by the artist, Chana Helen Rosenberg, inspired by these poems, enhance this volume with a unique graphic dimension.
