"At Maimonides Table" is constructed out of a complex series of
unstable texts woven through four inter-locking books. Although
there is no easily defined path through this work there is perhaps
a half-remembered clew, in book two, which takes as its starting
point the well known Talmudic story of the four who entered the
garden - a parable which can also be read for the dangers
confronting those who seek PaRaDiSe. Here is an exploration of an
im/possible ethics of messianic faith promising earthly redemption
through those four exegetical portals of Talmudic reading. But such
messianic longing also sits uneasily when cast in the shadows of a
history steeped in so much pain & suffering. Whilst this long
book-length poem appears to confront specifically Jewish themes it
can also be read and thought-through in non-denominational ways,
not least because at its core lie questions concerning how we
(individually and collectively) might still learn to become
ourselves in peaceful relationship with others.
