Couplets for the Statistically Unlikely Descendant of a Quasi-model Minority
|
Rebecca G. Biber tackles Jewish identity and history in three frank poems including “Couplets for the Statistically Unlikely Descendant of a Quasi-model Minority.” Alexis MacIssac overhears the woes of modern men in flight in “YYZ to DUB.” Two women support each other through their family and educational struggles in Gemini Wahhaj’s “Home Economics.”
Hares and rabbits have been known to serve as messengers between the conscious world and those deeper warrens of the mind. In Tom Seidmann-Freud’s 1924 Buch Der Hasengeschichten (Book of Hare Stories), folk and fairy tales are collected from across the globe, chosen for their leporine heroes. The stories are often comic and bleak; their anthropomorphic animals live in worlds darkened by adulthood.
