Poetry. "Rose Drachler's first published poems appeared when she was in her fifties. She is such a remarkable poet that it makes me wonder why all poets don't wait until they're fifty. Her work contains the lucid simplicity of a parable--if it's well told--easily leads you into (and through) familiar realms only to deposit you at the edge of a great mystery.

Poetry. "Rose Drachler's first published poems appeared when she was in her fifties. She is such a remarkable poet that it makes me wonder why all poets don't wait until they're fifty. Her work contains the lucid simplicity of a parable--if it's well told--easily leads you into (and through) familiar realms only to deposit you at the edge of a great mystery. Her rigorously crafted work is layered in what is sacred and transformational. Her poetry welcomes the immediate world with wisdom and tenacity; it is a marvelous decoding of appearances that illuminates the very heart of our awareness"--Gregory Kolovakos (in presenting The American Book Award 1981 on behalf of The Before Columbus Foundation).

Autorenporträt
"Biographical Note" by Rose Drachler: "I am truly a non-person. I have been mistaken for the janitor's wife, a nurse for dogs, an aunt, a good witch, a poet, a distinguished (dead) actress, a mother. I suffer from the spiteful machinations of my grand piano. I am compelled to continue a needlepoint rug the size of a ballroom by the lust of the eye of the needle for friction with wool. Strangers tell me the most intimate story of their lives and drunken Ukrainians propose marriage to me on the subway on Friday afternoons. I am old and ugly. I was born old but interested. Water loves me. I have been married to it for more than half a century. I know the language of fish and birds. Also squirrels and toads. I am a convert to Orthodox Jewry, also I have tried riding a broomstick. I had a vision of the double Shekhina on Amsterdam Avenue and 110th Street. I have taught cooking and sewing to beautiful Cantonese girls and the affectionate daughters of Mafiosi. I am married to an irascible but loving artist. A nay-sayer. My parents drove each other crazy. Me too. Which turned me to books and poetry and I thank them for it."
