The Diaspora

Author Sarah Key has written a beautiful book full of poems about Jewish religions and customs, families, heartache, loss and love. This book would pair well with “The Barefoot Book of Jewish Tales” by S. Gelfand and for readers of author Kadya Molodowsky. More poetry books are needed like this one, to help[ diversify poetic themes in modern literature. My favorite poems were The Sabbath, The Survivors and Long Distance. The illustrations brought forth visuals that helped me identify with the poems. I feel the author’s emotions as she wrote this book. Five out of five stars and recommended for all readers of poetry and Jewish traditions/communities! Thank you to the publisher via NetGalley for this arc. All opinions are voluntary and my own. Posted as the publisher recommended.

"The Diaspora" by Sarah Key is a stunning poetry collection that explores the themes of love, Jewishness, and life. Through a range of languages and poetic forms, Key takes readers on a journey through the complex emotions and experiences of the Jewish diaspora. This collection is a beautiful and thought-provoking work that will resonate with readers of all backgrounds and beliefs.

A stunning poetry collection that captures the essence of the Jewish experience. The writing is beautiful and lyrical, and her poems explore the themes of love, loss, and identity with sensitivity and depth.
