Read these as meditations on body and God before doing my own morning meditation, so I don't feel equipped to speak on them re. form, only my personal felt experience of them. They are frequently haunting and melancholy, her reflections on her relationship to the holy is markedly different than my own in tenor but similar in intensity (I base this also on reading her book "The Soul of the Stranger: Reading God and Torah from a Transgender Perspective"), so I'm looking forward to returning to these and pondering some more.

DNF'd a bit over halfway through. I loved both of Joy Ladin's books that I've read, but I just wasn't feeling this poetry. There's nothing bad about it, I was just never inspired to pick up the book and keep reading.
