Baltic Amber in a Chest, Paperback/Clarissa Jakobsons

Clarissa Jakobsons is the kind of gifted writer whose memories become your memories. You will read her book Baltic Amber in a Chest about the suffering of her family during and after World War II again and again, and each time it will be like listening to the voice of the person you love the most, telling you of their greatest fears and needs and triumphs. --John Guzlowski, author of Echoes of Tattered Tongues Through this collection, the poet bears witness to the suffering caused by WWII--suffering that reaches beyond a single family to the ripple effect of persecution caused by all wars. She asks the reader to pay attention, to not look away, to be mindful of how evil works in the world, because by doing so, we may not repeat it. from the Prologue by Barbara Sabol Book specifications: Dimensions: 229 x 152 Author: Clarissa Jakobsons Cover type: Paperback Publishing Year: 2023 Publishing Month: 1 Pages: 104 Language: English Publisher: Bottom Dog Press Weight: 163 g
