The Smoke Of Dreams

About the Author Reena Ribalow is a poet and writer living in Jerusalem, Israel. She was born in New York City and educated at the Yeshiva of Central Queens, Hunter College High School and Queens College. She attended the University of Iowa PhD. Program and Writer's Workshop on a Danforth Foundation Fellowship. Reviews "Emotionally lacerating, unsparingly honest, mordant, tender and full of longing, wisdom, and penetrating insight. "Jerusalem of Heaven, Jerusalem of Earth" is a masterpiece." - Patricia Randell, Associate Artistic Director at New River Dramatists and poetry series "Ribalow uses her beloved Jerusalem as biblical and literal backdrop, as inspiration and also metaphor, with an immediacy and intimacy reminiscent of Yehuda Amichai. These are essential poems, the sweeping arc of one woman's life (and many women's lives), that should be read and reread. I could not put it down." - Sharon Pomerantz, Novelist, author of Rich Boy "Ribalow inhales Jerusalem with every breath and exhales its sorrows and those of the whole world. These are powerful poems. Her voice is clarion. A chant of loving is its rhythm. You can't forget the song it leaves on your mind." - Bonnie MacDougal, Professor of English

Reena Ribalow says "these poems are in search of readers..." They found me and moved me to sleeplessness and then peace. She is a masterful poet who can conjure up the feelings that we have all experienced in a short line or two. Highly recommended to be read quickly ans then to be relished slowly.

These poems will fill you more fully than any food could. They are rich in subject, technique, and mainly voice. They are poems you will carry with you for the rest of life.
