Chrysalis Summer - Suzanne Brody

and I found//the cry of my soul//buried//in ancient text//opened//like comforting arms// when I needed it most.

In her sixth volume of poetry, Rabbi Suzanne Brody embarks on a journey of transformation and self-actualization. Drawing from her experience as Jewish educator, time spent in Jerusalem, and her love for text study Brody has crafted a delicate poetic cycle narrating of resilience in stillness, perseverance in patience as well as of the beautiful sense of liberation that new chapters can bring.
