I read, it is best to link

so that prayer
becomes redemption"

Night thoughts: curious where do you find/buy Jewish poetry?
Tweet brought to you by me having just found a Jewish poetry anthology at.... the antique mall.
(Planning on showing you tomorrow when we are all more awake...!)
Do your local libraries have Jewish books? And your bookstores? Can they be persuaded to have Jewish books? Where do you buy online?

"You need to rest, said the people who also said
this timeline needs fixing
not tomorrow, not at your leisure, not
when you’re rested: but yesterday and today and sideways
in all the multiverses looping upon themselves
like a curse that a thousand fix-it fics won’t fix"

knows it means
there is need

Awesome review of Daily Blessings by Hillel Broder, from our Jewish Poetry Project imprint -
"a successful argument not only for studying the daf yomi [...] but also for thinking creatively and poetically about one’s religious life and studies."

It is always fun to pick new excerpts to go on our website! Just picked some poems that will soon be uploaded 😺
Jewishness, womanhood, also suddenly a marine invertebrate! (Because marine invertebrates are cool.)

#Yiddish people, give a warm welcome to our author and translator @drzackaryberger!
(Yes, it's late. Yes, we just found him. Or more accurately, he found us.)
His next work forthcoming with us is a translation of Abraham Sutzkever's Ode to the Dove, illustrated by Liora Ostroff. Check out the cover!
