Tamar Rubin grew up immersed in Hebrew, Jewish traditions and texts, in a secular household, the daughter of an immigrant mother. As an adult, and in becoming a physician, she learned yet another language: medicine. The poetry in Tablet Fragments, Rubin's first published collection, weaves between Hebrew and English, to explore the texts of her upbringing, and to use biblical and medical language to explore her identities: outsider and insider; Canadian and immigrant; doctor and patient; wife and individual; child and would-be mother. The collection is divided into six sections, which mirror the books of the Torah. As Rubin moves between perspectives, she explores the personal impact of migration and displacement, the evolution of familial and romantic relationships, and religious faith and scientific fact.
