One little poem of mine made it into this anthology with the awe-some title "101 Jewish Poems for the Third Millennium." 1 out of 101, and alongside names like Janet Hirshfeld, Ed Hirsch, David Lehman, Ilya Kaminsky, Alicia Ostriker, Erika Dreifus, Yehoshua November, and Joanna Furhman. I don't have my author's copy yet, but have noticed beginning social media buzz so am jumping on the band-wagon. It will publish on January 1, 2021 with Ashland Poetry Press (and the world will probably just go on as before, but you might want to pre-order and have it ready)

Back to the beginning! A few weeks ago I wrote this poem inspired by the first chapter of Bereishit, and it's up on Ritualwell .

This poem is in the current edition of the Jewish Journal.

One of my Leaving New York poems is on the Bridge today !

Do Not Return i s #BookoftheWeek at the Poets Bridge .  Follow the link to read the title poem -- you can also find my publisher's website (Broadstone Books) there and order a copy if you would like to :)

In times when we can't travel it's nice to write about places we have traveled to. Poem for a New City was featured as Poem of the Day with Brooklyn Poets today.

"Location Scouting" may be just the second of several more Los Angeles poems that want to come out of my notebook. It is featured on The Bridge today.

When Rabbi  Menachem Creditor  asked me if I had a poem that would fit into a collection he was working on, titled "Loud, Proud, and Jewish," I was blown away. Wow, yes, let me see and send you a couple... And now, my poem Shema is part of a book in which diverse Jewish voices discuss "ways to be unapologetically Jewish and not become insular," as Menachem writes in his foreword.  I am so honored and grateful to have a poem included in this important manifesto, alongside an array of Jewish professionals far more accomplished than I am.

I'm thrilled to share that my poem Industry City has been nominated by my publisher, Broadstone Books for a Pushcart Prize .  Industry City is included in my collection Do Not Return and was first published with Curlew Quarterly.

Three is a good number - here is a link to my three Divrei Torah so far for Shir HaMaalot . 

My Mother's Room is included in the new issue of LiveMag!

I'm honored to be featured, together with E.J. Evans and Lee Herrick, by the Brooklyn Poets Reading Series on September 15th ! Come out to Ba'sik , 323 Graham Ave, 3:30pm - 6pm!

Two years ago, Moment Magazine published my poem 9 Av . It has been an intense Three Weeks this year.

"Do Not Return" made    this week's SPD recommended list! This may be a (very) small step for humankind, but a huge step for the little book!! I'm certainly over the moon :)

Aron Hirt-Manheimer wrote a beautiful and thoughtful review of my debut collection that is live on reformjudaism.org
