Contestable Truths, Incontestable Lies
Poetry. Jewish Studies. "The vibrant portraits of Israel and Jewish life described here are brought to life by an accurate and clear poetic language that is always a pleasure to read, although often frightening in its journalistic accounts of everyday conflicts and persecution. Although I stem from the other side of the political spectrum, there is much beauty to be experienced and much to be learned from Steven Sher's poems. They speak a truth that is often beautiful and sometimes terrible to process, but always essential to know."--Professor Karen Alkalay-Gut

This selection of poems offers varied sampling from his first thirty years of writing poetry. Yhe poems appear in three sections, each one covering roughly a ten-year period beginning in 1975. The poems in this collection first appear in many of the best international literary magazines and subsequently in the following books by Steven Sher: The House of Washing Hands, The Skipping Stone, At the Willamette, Thirty-six, Flying Through Glass, Traveler's Advisory, Trolley Lives and Caught in the Revolving Door.
