Aleph

Author: Tirzah Goldenberg

Publisher: Verge Books (2017)

"ALEPH: From the silence of this letter title springs forth a book rich in thin lines of force. There’s an essential echo that runs through these poems, an echo of an old beginning. Like the oil pressed from olives, what these poems give forth is the essence of the soul’s song: “like fire / among the clamor / like / bellowing water.” An exceptional first book."
