Black Threads

In Jeff Friedman's narrative poems, the world of our fathers deepens into meaning. How we lived and loved and managed to flourish in 20th century America despite fear, sadness and spiritual hunger assumes Old Testament clarity. Friedman's black threads bind Noah to the great migration, the Golem to the suburbs, and Cain and Abel to the generation that embraced rock'n'roll. Modest and wise, these poems bless both our New World domesticity and our still raging restlessness.Friedman, Jeff is the author of 'Black Threads ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780887484605 and ISBN 0887484603.
