Two poems forthcoming in the journal Nashim

The journal Nashim has accepted my two poems “Family Reunions” and “Synagogue Rummage Sale” for publication in its fall 2020 issue. I’m delighted!

“Family Reunions” is about my my family’s close ties to my mother’s twin brother’s family. We celebrated all holidays together. I used to be in charge of rummage sales at my synagogue, and I write about this complex experience in “Synagogue Rummage Sale.”
