In My Lookalike at the Krishna Temple, Jacqueline Osherow considers
expressions of spirituality from cultures all over the world and
investigates previously unexplored aspects of her relationship to
Judaism and Jewish history. While some poems reflect on
practitioners of self-imposed isolation, from the monks in Fra
Angelico's frescoed cells to Emily Dickinson to the Kotzker Rebbe,
others explore topics as varied as architecture, geometry, faith,
war, and genocide. Osherow finds beauty in Joseph's dreams, the
euphony of crickets, and the gamut of symmetries on display in the
Alhambra. The scent of lindens serves as a meditative bridge
between Darmstadt, Germany, alien and unnerving, and a familiar
front porch in Salt Lake City, where the poet freely engages with
the natural world: ""Don't worry, moon; we all lose our bearings. /
You don't have to rise. Stay here instead. / I'll spot you; we
could both use an allyaEURO.../aEURO...and rumor has it
disorientationaEURO.../aEURO...is the least resistant pathway to
what's holy."" Osherow takes readers on a journey as tourists and
global citizens, trying to find meaning in an often painful and
chaotic world.
