description: A daughter of survivors gives voice to the passion and pain of post-holocaust experience in this extraordinary first book of poetry by Isa Milman, winner of the 2005 Jewish Book Award for Poetry. Ancient Hebrew melodies sing of a famly and life now lost, and the revelation of a new world, as the poet wrestles with identity and personal ‘place.’ In her introduction the poet writes, “This collection of poems is about my living in between. My identity and my place in the world as a Jew, my attachment and longing for my murdered family, and my growing up in North America.”
