My Little Book of Exiles Alter Dan
The poems of My Little Book of Exiles sift through layers of diaspora and return, wrestling with the twin experiences of exile and separation. In a set of Labor Poems, Alter captures moments of working in the snow of Wisconsin, under floodlights on the Kenai bay of Alaska, or in the machine-roar of construction sites in the Bay Area, where he has worked for two decades as an electrician. The diasporas of the collection take place in history, family, and the privacy of a mind as it navigates its daily work.
A philosopher of the religion of labor; and an assassinated Prime Minister are some of the figures which weave in with intimate histories of heartbreak and hope. Another set of poems confront the vision of the Jewish people's homecoming to their ancestral land. Coming from a home where the Hebrew Bible was a book of bedtime stories, Alter's work is in conversation with texts as varied
