"Jason Francisco's photographs in Far from Zion invite us to follow his exploration of the Jewish historical experience in contemporary times. In their immediacy and their poetry, they suggest that this experience--like one's faith--cannot be explicitly defined. The journey itself is our reward."--Tom Gitterman, Gitterman Gallery, New York "This book is a meditation on some of the central questions that frame contemporary American Jewish life--questions of home and place, connection and difference, history and memory. It shows us what the contradictory desires within the Jewish imagination look like. As such, this highly successful work will speak to poets and scholars, photographers and artists, as well as a broader public."--Laura Levitt, Director of Jewish Studies, Temple University
