City of Skypapers, a 2021 National Jewish Book Award Finalist in poetry, records the con-ti-nu-ity between the per-son-al and the nation-al, the present and the his-toric. Ground-ed in the Jew-ish cal-en-dar and land-scapes of Tel Aviv, and leav-ened with self-dep-re-cat-ing humor, these poems exam-ine what it took "to get here today"--and these todays add up into this rich, max-i-mal-ist col-lec-tion. Poems engage with the Arab-Israeli con-flict, Gaza, and race in per-son-al ways. Oth-er poems doc-u-ment sin-gle moth-er-hood and quo-tid-i-an moments with clar-i-ty and pow-er. "Time ripens" in Sulak's poems "on the vines and limbs, along the laun-dry line." A full life emerges in these pages, and we are enriched by hav-ing inhab-it-ed that life.
