In Loving Riddles

Joseph Sherman was a poet of great verbal vigour and wide-ranging empathy. Rooted in his Jewish heritage and his Maritime roots, his poems offer unforgettable images of family life, natural settings and moments in history. They include both fine-tuned miniatures and expansive, multi-part poems. His diction ranges from common speech to rarely encountered language. The time is ripe for Sherman's majestic accomplishment in poetry to reach new readers.
