PRAISE:
“Anna Goodman Herrick revels in beauty and sacredness, a testament to defiantly vowing to not live in fear. She writes of a new beginning, informed by tragedy but refusing to be defined by it: ‘We opened / the windows of ourselves, sent the night out searching / for our collective liberation like a raven / for the end of the flood.’”
—Kara Lewis, Write Poetry
“Listening to Anna Goodman Herrick read a poem made the hair on my arm stand up. I wonder if we could measure the effects of good poetry on electrodermal activity.”
—Timothy Green, Editor, Rattle Magazine
“Performer, poet, and filmmaker Anna Goodman Herrick brings to her collection a deep knowledge of Jewish topics and a bold, imaginative palette. Her poems affirm and celebrate our power to reimagine ourselves and the world.” - Stephanie Barbe Hammer, The Jewish Book Council
“Anna Goodman Herrick is a rising star, a poet, and a bard well beyond her years in wisdom and vision. Her book A Speaker Is a Wilderness brings tears of recognition and awe to my eyes every time I open it.”
—Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone, author of Wounds into Wisdom
