Behind the Moon - Jacob G Rosenberg

'Jacob Rosenberg's haunting new collection, Behind the Moon, takes the reader on a journey of survival, celebrated and mourned in biblical spirituality. For this writer, poetry constitutes the highest form of memory. His profoundly moving sonnets record, in the context of an unredeeming history of genocidal brutality, moments of inspiration, hope, love and deliverance. What shines through all of Rosenberg's writing is the spiritual sensibility of a tragically reaffirmed humanity. These poems do indeed bear truthful and authentic witness to both the terror and the dignity of man!

Manfred Jurgensen

With a clear eye and plain passionate speech, these poems confront the experience of the extermination camps and the survivor's diaspora. Sonnet-form gives the poet a frame against which to set the greatest horror of modern history.
