"A Song of Songs, which is not Solomon's but Alicia Ostriker's. A great age-old hymn to life, to flesh, to memory, is revised again on these pages, with gusto, with passion, with clarity, with eros, with grief. If there is God, it is the mourner's or the mystic's God; if there is faith, it is the faith in our future. This is gorgeous poetry, as Jewish as it is universal."--Ilya Kaminsky Winner of the 2013 Paterson Award for Sustained Literary Achievement.
