Every Friday My Machberet presents an array of Jewish-interest links, primarily of the literary variety.

  • Via Kenyon Review Online: “Chapter 1,” a beautiful poem by Jessica Lieberman.
  • Author Gina Nahai and her husband, David Nahai, are featured in The Forward.
  • Interested in writing for Kveller? Listen to this.
  • Weekend reading: the new (summer 2015) issue of Lilith (though I’m tempted to wait until my print copy arrives).
  • The JCC of Greater New Haven [Connecticut] is looking to hire a PJ Library Programming Associate.

Shabbat shalom.

Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer

Quick summary this week:

  • Busy times over at the day job. For a summary of some of what I’ve been monitoring, check the latest Fig Tree Books blog post.
  • Working away on revising poems and sending out submissions. Hope to actually draft a couple of new pieces in the near future, too.
  • Saw Inside Out last weekend. Feeling surprisingly “meh” about it. (Similar to how I sometimes feel about a mega-hyped book that I’ve finally gotten around to reading.)
  • INSIDE-OUT-18
