This collection of work spans a twenty year period providing commentary on various facets of the poet's life. From an Oklahoma childhood to Kathmandu cafe's, Rafaela writes as physician, wife, traveler and passionate Jew. These vivid accessible poems witness the slow decline of a grandmother once fierce, the death of a mother, and chronicles college-bound children who "have no trouble leaving/she calls repeatedly to say it/ goodbye mom/ good-bye."The poems are arranged with a narrative structure which describes relationships and celebrates the complexity of family life; explores Jewish themes and three thousand year old gossip; provides front line reports from exotic locales (an around-the-world trip taken with her family) and perspectives as a physician.
