So very proud of my cousin Karen. She has made a career out of her love for poetry by writing over 30 books and teaching at the university level as well. She has even encouraged me in my quest to write some in my retirement. Her body of work is from the heart and it truly shows. She is so hip and cool and has mentored so many. So glad you have recognized her efforts here.
Aunt Bird is wonderful & haunting! And I am amazed and thrilled that Karen's Yiddish poems are going into a second printing this week, so had to feature!
The photo of Feiga Maker -- Aunt Bird -- is the only photo poet Yerra Sugarman has. I felt it was important to include. I didn't have room for both the book cover and the photo, but a quick Google search will lead you to the book!!

Thank you Howard for this warm & lovely comment! Karen's body of work is fascinating.
I bought “Aunt Bird” and can’t wait to read it. And the last paragraph of your interview with Alkalay-Gut made me laugh and want to go read her books.

Autocorrect strikes again! It's Feiga Maler with an "l".
Thank you so much, Christine!
