Union

by Gretchen Primack (Editor)

Over 300 poets submitted poems on the theme of "union" in Jewish Currents magazine's second annual Alexander and Dora Raynes Poetry Competition, judged by the distinguished poet Joan Larkin. Their works explored the meanings of "union" in all of their variety, from labor unions to sexual unions to civil unions to mystical union to interspecies union to the former Soviet Union.

Forty-one poems of special distinction, including the three prize-winners, have been selected for this collection.
