Review
Merle Feld's Finding Words is a book of memory and desire, neediness and hopefulness, elegies for loved ones lost, celebration of moments of joy and love, scrupulous self-examination. I am gripped by Feld;'s honesty, and by her precise nailing of 'the little obsessions that sink their teeth in / and mercilessly shake us, impervious / to our whimpering and begging Let me go.' These poems didn't let me go, either--they held me captive like the stories of my own life. --Alicia Ostriker, author of 'For the Love of God' and 'The Book of Seventy'
You read Merle Feld's poems and wonder: Has this woman been alive for a thousand years? How can she know so much, contain so much? How can she continuously pierce my soul with these words she has found? --Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, author of 'Kabbalah: A Love Story' and 'I'm God; You're Not'
These poems pour from the heart . . .With wisdom and grace, Merle Feld reports about life from the edges of her senses and intelligence. --Anita Diamant, author of 'The Red Tent' and 'Day After Night'
