In these graceful, exacting lyrics, Gabriel Levin addresses subjects wrested from a stark, natural world of "fire and ash" desert tints, and its diverse, vital heritage, with a rare sensitivity to the life of things past as well as present. The poems make stops at the Sahara, Sicily, Rhodes, Turkey, 12th-century Alexandria, war-torn Lebanon, Jerusalem, and an emerging Palestine. Interlaced between the poems is the lone voice of a sentry, pieced together from five potsherds (the "ostraca" of the title).
Acclaimed second collection of poems by American poet living in Israel.
