What more could I ask for than a chair at your bright yellow table, high as clear skies, pine trees, and the dusty red roofs of Jerusalem.

Lori Levy's delicate poems oscillate vividly between the sensation of dayenu-moments, when we feel perfectly whole and at peace -and our craving to experience more: more of this life, again, more of this place, or another place, of another moment. Levy merges nostalgia and carpe diem as she recalls important stations of her journeys between Vermont, Israel, and California. To love means to know well: a person, a place, a specific shade of light at a precise hour of the day, the taste of her mother-in-law's kubeh dish. As we follow Levy's memories of her longings, joys, and loves we are reminded of how we can find permanence in every impermanent moment, savored in the present.

About Lori Levy

Two collections appeared in 2023. Feet In L.A., But My Womb Lives In Jerusalem, My Breath In Vermont came from Ben Yehuda Press, and What Do You Mean When You Say Green? And Other Poems of Color from Kelsay Books. Lori Levy published an earlier bilingual collection, In the Mood for Orange, in Israel in 2007. Her poems have run in Rattle, Poet Lore, Nimrod International Journal, and Paterson Literary Review, and in medical humanities journals — among them a hybrid piece of poetry and prose written with her father, a physician. She lives with her extended family in Los Angeles, having also made homes in Vermont and Israel.
