Ms. Poznansky’s latest book, ‘Can We Still Love,’ a combination between bits of coming stories, her poetry, and those translated from her late father Zeev Kachel’s poetry which she brilliantly translated from Hebrew, touched me as few books do.
Her stories and poetry are always so full of insight and the human spirit, told in a passionate, poetic prose that has spoken to me in ways only the rarest of books do.
In today’s world with all the hatred and war raging across the globe, both her poetry and her father’s answered a deep-seated hurt in my heart over the level of today, and although every so often we see glimmers of hope that we as a people have grown, once again, the hatred and greed grow into full-blown horrors.
Will we ever grow, can one person’s love change the world a little so that the growth can happen?
I hope and pray so. This book seems to me a spark in the wilderness toward healing, and I hope everyone will read it. It will remain one that I will cherish and reread.
