Sunday, November 11, 2012

elana levy will be reading from her recently published book, Legacies and Heresies with blessings.

Silence is her practice, with a month in silence each year for the past decade. elana loves learning German and Hebrew, poetry and mysticism, cosmology, and deep politics.

elana taught math at Onondaga Community College, Syracuse, New York, for twenty years. Her daughter, plants, avocados, redwood trees, mist, moon, numbers, ocean, speaking out, edginess, organic produce, and prisms bring her great joy.

“elana levy bangs on the door of my heart, and I have to open it. Her poems don't give me a choice. She bears witness to the suffering of our world, and makes me pay attention. Her passion — for peace, for language, for plants and people — is contagious.” ~ Susan Moon, long-time editor and writer. Her latest book is, This is Getting Old, published by Shambala Press
