Milk and Honey: A Celebration of Jewish Lesbian Poetry by Julie R Enszer

Milk and Honey: A Celebration of Jewish Lesbian Poetry by Julie R Enszer

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Jewish Studies. In this land of MILK AND HONEY, poems flow. Contemporary Jewish, lesbian poets address an array of experiences--relationships between and among women, family relationships, politics, solitude, ethical responsibilities, history, solidarity, and community. MILK AND HONEY features beloved poets like Ellen Bass, Robin Becker, Elana Dykewomon, Marilyn Hacker, Eleanor Lerman, Joan Nestle, Lesl a Newman and Ellen Orleans, as well as new and emerging voices. With language and imagery that moves from the sensual and political to the tender and serene, MILK AND HONEY explores the vibrant, complicated, exhilarating experience of being Jewish and lesbian--or queer--in the world today.

HANDMADE LOVE (A Midsummer Night's Press) is Julie R.Enszer's debut collection of poems. Sisterhood (Seven Kitchens Press) is another chapbook she's released. She holds an MFA from the University of Maryland and is currently enrolling in the University of Maryland's Women's Studies PhD program.
