Inhaltsangabe

Coming Alive is a deeply intimate, psychologically rich collection of poems in which Judith Goren maps the inner life with startling clarity. Across four sections, she explores identity, the body, family, grief, desire, and the quiet devastations of ordinary days. Her poems move fluidly between the literal and the symbolic—houses become emotional landscapes, bodies become archives of memory, and everyday scenes (a supermarket aisle, a basement, a beauty shop) reveal the hidden tensions and longings beneath domestic life. The voice is fearless, often raw, unafraid to name pain, ambivalence, or the shadow‑selves we try to outrun.

Threaded through the collection is a recurring invitation to awaken—emotionally, spiritually, physically. Goren writes of trauma and healing, of the ways relationships shape and wound us, and of the fragile, persistent human urge to connect. The poems are grounded in vivid imagery and psychological insight, often blending dream logic with autobiographical detail. Taken together, the book becomes a journey toward self‑recognition: an insistence that to “come alive” requires entering the rooms of one’s own experience—dark, luminous, and everything in between.
