To All the Mirrored Doors of Beginning, a Journey Ending - Hardcover
Description
by Ruth Rifka (Author)
In her ninety-sixth year, Ruth Rifka still finds herself searching out and advocating for ultimate truths. To All the Mirrored Doors of Beginning . . . A Journey Ending spans the beginnings of the Ukraine/Russia war and the first seven months of the Israel/Hamas war. It is a journey of seeking and forming a Weltanschauung, a facing down of one's mortality, while preoccupied with the realities of war and navigating the stress of facing down and coming to terms with the imminent demise of a husband in palliative care. In the writing process, the poems become sustaining prayers for peace, guidance, expressions of humbling gratitude, and parting blessings for the reader. WINNER OF THE 2025 CANADIAN JEWISH LITERARY AWARDS PRIZE FOR POETRY
