Roots and Paths (e-book) (used book) | Maurice L Hirsch | bookbook.eu

Description

In Roots and Paths, his second book of poetry, Hirsch turns a keen but warm eye on the roots that anchor us as we follow our winding paths. He looks to life issues within and without as he explores the paths we take and those we avoid, the fluctuating line between our dreams and realities, and the balancing act required to remain grounded as we grow. Hirsch's poems are a welcome and wise distillation of life's confusions and messy challenges. Said of his first book, Stares to Other Places, and of Roots and Paths: "Hirsch's two impressive first volumes of poetry-Stares to Other Places and Roots and Paths-are a delight to the heart as well as to the mind. With direct, accessible and splendidly crafted language, Hirsch gives voice to the everyday challenges of remaining worthy of the gift of life with all its ups and downs. I intend to keep both volumes handy for repeated, inspirational readings. Hirsch's words will help his readers unlock their own minds and souls to their deepest hopes, fears, pain and pleasure. His readers will be grateful to him for sharing his special gifts of expression." Robert A. Cohn, Editor in Chief/Publisher, St. Louis Jewish Light
