Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Poetry. Slyly sexual, intense and funny, in WHAT SNAKES WANT Kita Shantiris strips secrets of their power by telling them. Running away and returning, burying and unearthing, she--and a cast that includes abused siblings, desperate spinsters, and an army medic--struggle to escape their shadows. Throughout, Shantiris' startling use of language animates her portraits. A psychologist who runs a non-profit mental health center, Shantiris faces trauma, yearning, love and loss head on. WHAT SNAKES WANT traverses a menacing, bleak landscape as its characters shed their ghosts. Sensuous love poems follow. Full of word play and mischief, never have oranges, or the word dictum, been racier. The haunting elegies in the final section breathe life into the dead. Fearless and compassionate, WHAT SNAKES WANT shines light in our dark places. You will return to these haunting poems again and again. Something edgy and intense haunts Kita Shantiris' poems, always threatening to flare up just outside their frames. Like a great auteur, she teases us with implication, with slow builds, the sneaky reveal, with what you can't yet see. Or, she'll give us a flash of aftermath, letting us glimpse a tub of red water where the violence has already taken place. Carefully orchestrating her pace, Shantiris lets things dawn on us, which contributes to the sense of delicious discovery one has in reading this collection. Wanderlust, an ode to coffee shops, an erotic poem set in a gaudy Laundromat, a child lying in bed hearing her abusive father come home.it's all here, articulate, compressed, suspenseful. It takes brandy to center me/glowing alone here. The reader will likely find herself glowing along with these poems.--Amy Gerstler, author of National Book Critics Award winner Bitter Angel and other collections Kita Shantiris is a poet whose work in this book glows with a naked, scalpel- sharp intelligence and a refreshing delight in language. Full of startlingly good poems--The Last Lake comes to mind and the title poem, especially--WHAT SNAKES WANT is a fine collection, and one of the most exciting I have read in recent years.--Patrick Chapman, poet, writer and screenwriter--including A Promiscuity of Spines: New and Selected Poems One could spend a lifetime with Kita's new and powerfully personal book of poetry, WHAT SNAKES WANT. The poems speak of a life replete with love, loss, pain, honesty, insight, longing, sensuality, and a deep unabashed unsentimental appreciation for the very gift of life itself. The poems are accessible yet abound with rich imagery, beautifully wrought observations of the natural world and of our very human behavior, and they do so with an intensity of feeling and care that ultimately resound with hope as they reach in and touch the soul.--Ed Harris, actor, screenwriter, director.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Cultural Writing. Judaica. Jewish Fables. Translated by Sandy Berkofsky-Santana. Illustrated by Marcelo Ferder. FABLES FROM THE JEWISH TRADITION is a graceful English presentation of Jewish fables and their cultural and religious context. Luminous color illustrations by Marcelo Ferder, Kogan's extensive notes, and his enlightening short essay about fables and the Jewish textual tradition are highlights of the collection. Presented in an attractive, contemporary format, this book offers a brief but varied group of 40 fables which can be found scattered through the Talmud and in certain collections of midrashim. Because they are stories about talking animals and their interactions with each other and with humans, they seem like simple fairy tales about how people live and should behave. For this reason, they offer readers--including children--a way into understanding the Talmud and Midrash, often thought of as impenetrable or arcane. The notes and essay help to explain the Jewish teachings to be found in the fables. The appeal of this book goes far beyond schoolchildren. Readers who love fables will recognize universal themes here, but with the point of view and wisdom of Jewish tradition going back thousands of years. Even the reader who is relatively unfamiliar with Jewish culture will see a different, often unexpected slant on old concepts and topics.…
