About this ebook:
First place winner: 2012 Poetica Magazine Chapbook Contest Review by the final judge: Claudia Mazur"At once a recollection and a look forward, Rick Black's Star of David seeks a bridge between past and present, a place where what's forgotten or lost in translation can be brought to life, and perhaps resolved. The voice that sustains these poems wants answers.The poems seek a new language of Judaism, one not shrouded in suffering and misery, but celebratory and joyous, as in "The Passover Seder," where the speaker wants to "sing of dancing in the living room," but not "of the dead / and the blood and the darkness." Of course, with the new language comes a new way of thinking; there are other ways to honor what we have. Instead of going to shul, the speaker in "Hands" is "bent prostrate" to "dig into the dirt / to clear away / the stones" in his garden. Our understanding of Judaism, of life's meaningfulness, is expanded to include "unorthodox" ways of doing things. In "Observance," the surprise lies in the difference between expectation and action: "I closely watch the geese / floating on their wings / into the river / listen to a red-bellied / woodpecker lunatic / in my backyard / and inhale the scent of / wild lilacs / along a forest path."This collection is a marvelous read, offering insight but also a fresh perspective on ancient traditions and people. Black has done a masterful job of combining mellifluous language with powerful imagery. These are not poems I will soon forget."
