Dear Poetry Monday Readers:
Irene Willis asked me to go into our archives and repost this previous Poetry Monday with the poetry of Jeff Friedman for your reading pleasure.

Good morning everyone,
I hope you’ve all had a successful Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year holidays and that this morning finds you all fully vaccinated and some even with the third shot.
Our poet today is Jeff Friedman, whose work was last featured here in 2008. I’ve always enjoyed his work fully, especially its humor and warmth, but with his new book The Marksman (Carnegie Mellon University Press) he seems to have reached a greater depth.
It’s our pleasure to share three of his poems here. All are from the new book, although they were previously published in journals and magazines.

Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s writing is so thoroughly infused with her enthusiasm and passion that we encounter the theory with visceral clarity and truly feel the pain and joy of her clinical work.
