Big News! Poet, storyteller, and JSC member Brian Rohr has released his debut full-length book, Shaken to My Bones: A Poetic Midrash on the Torah, published by Ben Yehuda Press as part of their Jewish Poetry Project series.
From the back: With Shaken to My Bones, Brian Rohr has crafted an astonishing set of parsha poems, a multilayered midrash, questioning the text, challenging God, while still embracing love and the earth. As a maggid, a storyteller in the finest sense of the Jewish tradition, he weaves together elements of Torah into a new tapestry, creating a personal, ancient yet contemporary and magical work.
Back cover reviews/blurbs are from Poet Baruch November, Rabbi Arthur Waskow, and Rabbi Jill Hammer.
