“Stretch Marks”

 

 

 

 

 – “Stretch Marks” is collection of poetry by a group of English language writers who have, temporarily or permanently, made their home in Israel. Whether born speaking English, Dutch, German, Hebrew or Arabic, each of us has had to stretch to adapt to a new tongue, new culture, and/or new religion. The pleasures and pains of birthing ourselves into this ancient-young country have marked our body-souls. This collection is influenced as much by the desert’s spoken words and the Galilee’s mystical prayers as by our individual pilgrimages in search of our internal “Promised Land.” And, despite the impossible odds, we are each, with the support of one another, fulfilling our own promise through creating artful forms, meaningful symbols, and unique, poetic lives. —Shalom
Alana Ruben Free and Akilah Mosley
