Is it possible to miss a life you know only by story? holding myself hostage in the kitchen is a deeply engaging narrative illuminating the poet's personal history as a first generation American, his family's Russian- Jewish heritage and history, home life, plain life, and modern life. With an observant eye, smart musical sense, and delightful craftsmanship, 16 year old Daniel Blokh delivers a mature meditation on identity. Perhaps it is possible to long for a life known only by story, and this collection pays homage to that space. - Nancy Lili Gonzalez, Foxing Quarterly, Round Top Poetry Anthology, and Sorin Oak Review.
