We seek to answer how the long history of Judaism expresses itself in the daily lives of the artists represented within these pages, and the poems do that on their own. Charles Bernstein, in “The Klupzy Girl,” wrote: “Poetry is like a swoon, with this difference: / It brings you to your senses.” We hope you, the reader, will have enough poetic sense to see beyond the categories and labels to the beauty of
