Uncle Feygele by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub Uncle Feygele by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Yermiyahu Ahron Taub's new collection of poems is rich with intimacy and longing, culled from the dual influences of both contemporary gay culture and timeless Jewish tradition.  The speakers in Taub's poems find themselves squarely displaced between these two extremes, between the obligation to duty and the surrender to pleasure, the lightness of daily foibles and the darkness of long-held secrets and shame.  The poems-bold, unfettered-are draped around the reader like "a necklace of whispers"-as objects both of beauty and of restraint.  Taub is a poet in whose hands I feel moved and informed, comforted and implored.  Charles Jensen Author of The First Risk   This book is a dazzler for any of us who live between cultures and find it hard to negotiate between absolute identities.  In poems more urgent than well-mannered, Taub ...

Three of the poems have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize; ten have been anthologized. From reader reviews: Robert Prather: People live in this new time of lifestyle always try to and must have the extra time or they will...
