Synopsis
In Journeys, his first poetry collection, Barry L. Zaret has unleashed a long-withheld torrent of gorgeous verse drawn from the riches of his Jewish heritage, his life as a cardiologist, his intense sorrows and equally intense joys, and his love of the natural world, especially his beloved Berkshires. What one senses most of all in these life-changing poems is the enormously generous and empathetic spirit behind them.

Review
These singularly evocative poems could have come only from the deepest sensibilities of Dr. Barry Zaret, a brilliant physician gifted with extraordinary perception and understanding, as well as the ability to see empathically into the very souls of himself and of others. Here he looks unflinchingly at his own and our pain and sorrow--and at death--ultimately finding a future of promise and fulfillment. His lines are crafted with love. --Sherwin B. Nuland, National Book Award Winner
