Borrowed Light

by Merle Nudelman

Weaving together complex layers of personal and political history, this collection of poems traces a Jewish family’s path from 1930s Europe to 21st-century Canada. Recalling the delicate, enduring family bonds that have held fast through war and peacetime, these poems find lyric expression for the past century’s traumas, large and small.
