I am so grateful to see this work, with which I've not been familiar. Recently discovered and joined Yetzirah Poets, though, and finding this work, and my own, to be my spiritual home, more accessible and comfortable than the liturgy itself.

Carol, thank you. Poetry is essential and Yetzirah is wonderful! Interestingly, a significant part of the liturgy is poetry -- especially on Yom Kippur.
