Michelson's poems explore the boundaries between the personal and the political, and the connections between history and memory. Growing up under the shadow of the Holocaust, in a Brooklyn neighborhood consumed with racial strife, Michelson's experiences were far from ordinary. His sense of humor and acute awareness of Jewish history, with its ancient emphasis on the fundamental worth of human existence make this accessible book, finally, celebratory and life-affirming.

Pittsburgh. 2015. February 2015. University of Pittsburgh Press. Uncorrected Proof. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780822963332. Pitt Poetry Series. 80 pages. paperback. keywords: Poetry. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘These poems demonstrate what a pleasure it is to read a thoroughly social poet. Even when Michelson isn't laughing, he stands in a noble tradition: the Jewish spiritual comedian. An open-hearted, deeply engaged book. '-Mark Doty. ‘Some poets wrestle with ghosts. Richard Michelson invites them to sit at the kitchen table, crack jokes, give advice, live and die all over again. By turns philosophical, political, tender, outraged, and funny as hell, Richard Michelson is a poet to remember. '-Martín Espada. ‘Dramatic encounters with the past, such as what you behold here in Michelson's poetry, often lead to exquisite confessions that ennoble a life. A sparkling treatise about poetry and memory. '-Major Jackson. ‘Dazzling, smart, and original, More Money than Godmixes up the angels and devils of history and hope into realms of greater being. There's something huge going on nearly all the time-as well as something intricately tender too. '-Naomi Shihab Nye. ‘Michelson asks with urgent eloquence how the sweetness of life can be sheltered from the terrors of our time, and what art can make of such a world as ours. His poems are artful, humane, and true. '-Richard Wilbur, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. inventory #41432.
