Finding Words

by Merle Feld

Merle Feld is an acclaimed poet and playwright whose work has been featured in numerous books, including The A Women s Commentary and Mahzor Lev Shalem. As a scholar-in-residence, she has helped clergy and communities across North America use poetry as a powerful means of spiritual expression. Her latest poetry collection, Finding Words, explores the subtle beauty and stark challenges of family, the complexities of adult friendships, the struggle to center a life on what is meaningful and nourishing, and the holiness to be found in ordinary moments. Moving and accessible, Finding Words is a great gift for your friends, family, and congregants. It provides thoughtful content for a unique and powerful adult education program, as well as readings for worship services. The companion study guide features discussion questions to help readers and educators plumb the depths of the poetry and to ponder the Jewish sources and human feelings behind the simple yet powerful words.

Beautiful, haunting, exquisitely joyful, exquisitely painful. This book of poetry spoke to me like no other I have read. Highly recommended.
