Reflections: Poems, Lyrics, and Stories

by Judith Weinshall Liberman, Laura Liberman

REFLECTIONS includes works written or adapted from writings created over a period of more than half a century. This anthology contains poems, lyrics, and stories, each written by one member of the mother-daughter team of Judith Weinshall Liberman (mother) and Dr. Laura Liberman (daughter). The vast majority of the works were previously unpublished. Both authors have spent most of their adult lives pursuing activities other than writing. For decades, Judith Weinshall Liberman created visual art. Dr. Laura Liberman has had a rewarding career in medicine. Yet both authors have long had a passion for writing and have written extensively within and outside their career fields. Judith Weinshall Liberman has published six books. Dr. Laura Liberman wrote I SIGNED AS THE DOCTOR (2009), a memoir recounting her experiences as a cancer doctor surviving cancer. In REFLECTIONS, the authors reflect on their lives and the people they have known. The poems, lyrics, and stories in REFLECTIONS cover a wide range of topics, and are arranged in about a dozen categories. Some writings are humorous, while others are somber. All come from the authors' heart. Like life itself, REFLECTIONS covers the whole gamut of human experience.

There is a variety of stories and poetry in Reflections by Judith Weinshall Liberman and her daughter Dr. Laura Liberman. The collection is nicely organized by topics, such as LOVE, ENCHANTMENT, HUMAN FOIBLES, STORIES.

Here is a taste from the collection:

YOUR CALL

“I was expecting you today.
You said you’d come and then would stay
All evening and all through the night
So we could our own history write.

I prepared pizza just for you,
And ice cream for dessert, too.
I got some sparkling champagne,
But now it seems all was in vain.

You never did show up today.
I wonder if you went to stay
With that plain girl I saw with you,
Who, in my very humble view,

Does not deserve a guy like you,
Because she’s plain and dumpy, too.
I saw you with her once before,
When I was looking out my door."

Please get the book to enjoy the rest of this poem and
more of their creativity.

Thank you GoodReads for the book.
