Dear Mendele readers,

I am delighted to announce the publication of my fourth book of poems,
Prayers of a Heretic/Tfiles fun an apikoyres.  A synopsis is directly
below, and more information is available via the links.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best wishes,
Yermiyahu Ahron

Taub, Yermiyahu Ahron.  Prayers of a Heretic: Poems.  Austin, Texas: Plain
View Press, 2013.  142 pages.  ISBN: 978-1-891386-01-5


Prayers of a Heretic explores the "crime" of heresy and the condition of
existential displacement through the language of prayer and prayerful
voice/s.  In the first section, "Visits and Visitations," the poet imagines
a variety of protoganists in situations of supplication.  The second
section, "In the Gleaning," examines the life, trangressions, and prayers
of the title character and the primacy of books, libraries, and reading for
refuge and reconfiguration.  Eschewing a secular/religious divide, the book
offers an expansive interpretation of the enduring power of prayer.  Four
poems also have a Yiddish version.
