Lily Brett's poems tell of love, longing, and fundamental family secrets. Her poetry opens entire worlds in which she explores her roles as daughter, mother, wife, and friend. In snapshots, she pays tribute to her family and persistently delves into the history of her parents, who survived the Holocaust. Precise and focused, her language conjures the power of memory, is intoxicated with life and wistful, and sings the miracle of survival with quiet words and profound wit. This edition presents the poems alongside their translations as well as the original American versions. In a foreword, Lily Brett explains her selection for this very personal, heartfelt volume.
