Leaving Egypt

"It's an ancient theme, leaving Egypt, and we are all called to find a way out of exile. Gene Zeiger's poems, so earthy and moist with family, love, and everyday things and so gently passionate about finding your own territory and so full of memory, both tragic and enchanting-- these strong and delicate poems offer a way home for us all. Gene turns our attention to the things that matter, radical medicine in a time of lost vision."--Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul
