A spectacular collection of poems....

First I have to give kudos to Marcia Falk for this translation of Zelda's poems. Having studied Hebrew I can appreciate the daunting task and the pressure to capture the excellency of these poems.
This collection is one that can not help but cause the reader to look at the world around us with different eyes. Zelda Mishkovsky survived a lot during her lifetime and these poems reflect her passion for nature and things that we can control and those we have to accept. Her style, as many have said, is unique in her combining words we don't usually see together. These are poems meant to be read several times and with each reading a new insight will bless the reader.
This must get five stars.
