I am thrilled to have my review of New Jersey poet Yehoshua November’s third book of poetry out in the current issue of The Hopkins Review!
Yehoshua November’s The Concealment of Endless Light was one of my favorite reads of 2024. It’s out from Orison Books (NC 2024), and in fact, I do not recall exactly when I read it. However I bought it right around when published, plus the review itself took me some time to write, after two tours through the book during the process, so it was probably way back then in ye olden days of yore of 2024.
The review is not online but available through The Hopkins Review. Poet Yehoshua November’s website is linked here. I will quote the opening of the review, which basically also is a summary:
“Yehoshua November’s third book offers a spiritual self-portrait of the poet as questioner, father, husband, teacher, and Jewish member of a living Chassidic faith tradition, all amid the hustle and bustle of everyday New Jersey. November’s aplomb in bringing these worlds together—Roy Orbison and Moses, rabbinic devotion and commercial radio, making a living and living a faith tradition—is a major delight of his poetry.”
All the best,
