About Chicken Fat

In Chicken Fat, poet-historian Barbara Krasner reaches into her family history and pulls out visceral stories of Jewish identity, food, and loss that while deeply personal, hold universal appeal. From pleas to Old World grandparents to reminiscences of family vacations in the Catskills, from the Sabbath to the Jewish New Year, from birth to death, this collection of soulful poems recalls connections and disconnections inherent in the circle of life. The poems "Grandma Ruth" and "Because I'm Jewish" earned Honorable Mentions in the Allen Ginsberg awards. A glossary explains Yiddish and Hebrew terms.
