After a lifetime of poetry, this collection provides a mere fraction of Rabbi Reeve Robert Brenner's literary output, however removed from his far better known works of scholarship and philosophy.

Sometimes playful and at other times serious, even profound, he offers various variations on a theme and several changes in personas. He writes as a Jew, of course, as a Rabbi, but also as a father, grandfather and friend, with his heart often in the land of Israel, but always still quintessentially American.

Some of these poems may deserve no more than a glance but others go straight to the infinite core of time. Others will make the reader smile and certain ideas and certain wordplay do just that. Elastic, however, is a feature prominent in these pages and they both surprise and delight. And allusions of the infinitive appear often enough.

You will find that you often pick up this volume of collected poetry, return to its pages, and visit a familiar verse or perhaps find some new joy.
