The Broken Heart Is the Master Key: poems - Paperback

by Baruch November (Author), Alicia Ostriker (Introduction by)

The Broken Heart is the Master Key is Baruch November's masterpiece. The poems in this new collection have been honed by years of skilled craft, love, and longing for connection - whether with a woman with chestnut hair or with the Divine. November here infuses the dreams of his younger poetic self with the clear, sometimes sharp realism of a man who has known loss yet still embraces the world with open arms. The result is a unique Hasidic dance, a lyrical niggun that lingers in our hearts long after the last page.
