Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce the publication of my second book of poems, 
What Stillness Illuminated/Vos shtilkayt hot baloykhtn by Parlor Press 
(West Lafayette,Ind.) in its Free Verse Editions series. More information 
is available via the web links below.

Thank you for your support and for spreading the word.

Best wishes,
Ahron

Inspired by the poet's experience as an artist's model, What Stillness 
Illuminated/Vos shtilkayt hot baloykhtn is a kaleidoscope of mysterious 
tableaux vivants. Composed entirely of five-line poems, the book offers 
glimpses of individuals in moments of flux or revelation and suggestions 
of lives altered. By drawing on the dramatic potential inherent in 
brevity, Yermiyahu Ahron Taub invites his readers to extend the narratives 
beyond the borders of the poems to imagined conclusions of their own. Each 
of the poems in What Stillness Illuminated/Vos shtilkayt hot baloykhtn 
have English and Yiddish versions, and two poems also have a Hebrew 
version.
