Zion Square: poems

"The music rips the skein of being. The ghost is proudly silent.A triumph of difference. Discordant and defiant."Maxim D. Shrayer's voice speaks across generations. With a stubborn belief that poetry must be healing, Shrayer writes poems that break through boundaries and fears, accept defeat, and yearn for pleasure.-David Biespiel, author of A Self-Portrait in the Year of the High Commission on LoveThe memories [Shrayer] carries burn in carefully crafted verses as if to contain his furies and his love. ... These are poems to savor and to learn.-Rodger Kamenetz, author of The Missing Jew: Poems 1976-2022Maxim D. Shrayer's Zion Square is a book of unabashed loyalties, outspoken in its political commitments, at moments bitingly satiric, at others, tender.-Natania Rosenfeld, author of The Blue BedThese haunted poems movingly try to make sense of our current world that is, Shrayer passionately reminds us, seeped in tragedy.-Yerra Sugarman, author of Aunt Bird
