Doykeit #5
The concept of “doykeit,” Yiddish for “hereness,” is taken from the pre-World War II Polish-Jewish group The Bund, which believed that Jews have both a night to live and a political commitment to work for change “here and now.”
Shprintze and the Golem
Shprintze's life and her sleepy shtetl town are changed forever when she discovers a golem in the forest. What secrets does this strange creature hold? Will her friendship with it be the town's undoing or will it save them from impending doom? A collaboration between Avi Roberts and Baltimore based writer Tyler Vile, Shprintze and the Golem is steeped in centuries of Jewish folklore with a decidedly modern fantasy twist. A story of friendship and adventure for all ages to enjoy.
Aesop's Erasures
Aesop's Fables have been a staple of children's literature for thousands of years. Translated into languages the world over and reinterpreted countless times, these short, simple tales of talking animals, Greco-Roman gods, and everyday people are engrained into the global imagination. Aesop's Erasures is a book of erasure poetry that takes these stories and strips them down to their bare essence. Working from George Fyler Townsend's 1800s translations, these poems play with the idiosyncrasies of archaic English to create something uniquely modern.
