The Art of Blessing the Day: Poems with a Jewish Theme by Marge Piercy

5.0

This collection is about Jewish life and experiences, blending the author's own with those of Jewish women in general. Piercy sorts her poems into categories of family, marriage, tikkun olam, history, prayer, and time, and they are all insightful and unapologetic for their existence.  She writes with a great deal of compassion for herself, others, and the world, and she shows ways to appreciate each day through the littlest and most important things.  It's very much a Jewish book, but I think a lot of it would be enjoyable no matter your beliefs.
