Thorny Judith Baumel

Thorny, the newest collection of poems from Walt Whitman Award-winning author Judith Baumel, maps personal memories across history-laden landscapes, from Sicily to the Bronx and back. Casually erudite and recklessly passionate, Thorny brings past and present into close conversation, illuminating both. Come read for yourself why author Jan-Henry Gray calls this book "Multi-directional, polyvocal, erudite, daring, and sly-these poems are the yield of a life both well-observed and deeply felt."
