"In this new collection, Joy Ladin wondrously records the reports of the Shekhinah, the feminine aspect of G-d, an extremely important figure in Judaism. Each poem in Shekhinah Speaks swirls and surges with differing velocities, alternately ferocious and tender flowing as a timeless continuous present. In Ladin's work, the Shekhinah has much to say about our current conditions and challenges. The poetry is earthly, ethereal, and full of soul." —Gregg Bordowitz

Joy Ladin is the author of ten books of poetry, including 2022's Shekhinah Speaks, National Jewish Book Award winner The Book of Anna, and Lambda Literary Award finalists Impersonation and Transmigration. She has also published a memoir of gender transition, Through the Door of Life, and a groundbreaking work of trans theology, The Soul of the Stranger: Reading God and Torah from a Transgender Perspective.

About selva oscura press:  Founded in 2015 with an aim to publish beautiful poetry and experimental writing from the emerging and the established. The press takes its name from the dark wood of Dante's Inferno, as well as from a portent when bourbon ages. Some evaporates from the oak barrels that give the drink its character and blackens the bark for nearby trees. In the argot of distillers, this is the angel's share. selva oscura press
