Ground-ed in the Jew-ish cal-en-dar and land-scapes of Tel Aviv, and leav-ened with self-dep-re-cat-ing humor, these poems exam-ine what it took \"to get here today\"--and these todays add up into this rich, max-i-mal-ist col-lec-tion. Poems engage with the Arab-Israeli con-flict, Gaza, and race in per-son-al ways. Oth-er poems doc-u-ment sin-gle moth-er-hood and quo-tid-i-an moments with clar-i-ty and pow-er. \"Time ripens\" in Sulak's poems \"on the vines and limbs, along the laun-dry line.\" A full life emerges in these pages, and we are enriched by hav-ing inhab-it-ed that life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcela Sulak's five Black Lawrence Press titles include \u003ci\u003eThe Fault\u003c\/i\u003e (2024), National Jewish Book Awards finalist, \u003ci\u003eCity of Sky Papers\u003c\/i\u003e (2021), lyric memoir \u003ci\u003eMouth Full of Seeds\u003c\/i\u003e (2020), \u003ci\u003eDecency\u003c\/i\u003e (2015), and \u003ci\u003eImmigrant\u003c\/i\u003e (2010).
