Without Roof
Kinereth Gensler
"Without Roof
focuses on loss and separation, but it celebrates courage and risk."
—Karla
Hammond
"...Using existing myths or
images from the natural world, she makes new fables on the experience of being a woman and
a poet, on her Jewish heritage, and on uncovering the meaning of history."
—The
Virginia Quarterly Review
"...With economy and composure she describes
things as they are: a fine love goes emotionally bankrupt; a woman's body withers and
grows past childbearing; the wildflowers sometimes conceal bat caves and minefields."
—Choice
