Sea of Reeds is a lively, sometimes humorous, always moving work of art that shows the work of a poet capable of experimenting with language in fresh ways.
The collection includes a wide range of poetic forms, including haiku, lyrical, rhyming and free verse. The underlying theme is our connection to G-d in daily life; a message gentle and sincere. Wasserman speaks of spiritual journeys and revelations, his own and those of famous Jewish personalities, in a way that we can all relate to, translating the mystical into engaging English.
