A Jewish woman poet in her eighties reflects on her broad life experience on this fragile planet in a time of global conflict and uncertain future. A storyteller, a traveler, and a collector of people to love, she declares her hard-won identity without fear, expresses her outrage without letting it consume her, achieves balance, and dares to hope as her granddaughters give meaning to her legacy.
