Pillow-Stones

"Pillow-Stones" is a collage of poems that reconstructs memories of a distant and not-so-distant past occupied by the poet's German-Jewish heritage and her deeply-held feelings about loss, woman-hood, and her rebellion against religion. Each poem expresses an awakening and an intensification of what it means to survive and to thrive in the shadows of a world where, today, many people are unaware of the Holocaust and Germany's Nazi past.
