b'siyata d'shira

Más información sobre el libro

b'siyata d'shira is a prayer song set to the rhythm of memory. Family ghosts haunted by the Holocaust exist at the intersection of tragedy and modern society. Surek's debut is not told from a singular lens but one she has unraveled, questioned, and rediscovered. By rooting imagery in prayer, Surek braids together a history of old and new worlds shrouded by ancient traditions and personal history, mining memories around culture, elegy, family, and faith. Through lyrical language and meditation, b'siyata d'shira seeks to raise the dead while fiercely honoring a lineage with a horrific past so stunning we will all be left questioning the beauty behind human brutality.
