A ground breaking anthology of contemporary Hungarian poetry
containing the diverse work of eight women and eight male poets
with a wide range of subject matter and styles full of musicality,
rhythm, and colorful images.
These poems explore the distance between the head and the heart-and
all of the pain, beauty, and hope in between. This book is one
woman's account of her longing to know herself fully. Her mind,
body, and soul. This book might make you cry, fill you with
nostalgia, empower you, or even give you hope. You might not see
eye to eye with every idea inside, but with any luck you'll see
your soul reflected in its pages. You will question things. You
will remember your past. You will be thankful for your present. You
will dream a new dream. Above all, you will feel. Welcome to the
journey of Eighteen Inches, a battlefield between a woman's beat-up
heart and her complex mind.

Jewish art has always been with us, but so has a broader canvas of
Jewish imaginings: in thought, in emotion, in text, and in ritual
practice. Imagining the Jewish God was there in the beginning, as
it were, engraved and embedded in the ways Jews lived and responded
to their God. This book attempts to give voice to these diverse
imaginings of the Jewish God, and offers these collected essays and
poems as a living text meant to provoke a substantive and
nourishing dialogue. A responsive, living covenant lies at the
heart of this book-a covenantal reciprocity that actively engages
the dynamics of Jewish thinking and acting in dialogue with God.
The contributors to this volume are committed to this form of
textual reasoning, even as they all move us beyond the "text" as
foundational for the imagined "people of the book." That people, we
submit, lives and breathes in and beyond the texts of poetry,
narrative, sacred literature, film, and graphic mediums. We imagine
the Jewish people, and the covenant they respond to, as provocative
intimations of the divine. The essays in this volume seek to draw
these vocal intimations out so that we can all hear their resonant
call.
