We are left centered with poems of compassion and beauty, often found in the wondrous details. She sings to the next generation, grandchildren, and to parents and places that are no longer, immortalizing them in these poems with grace and humor. I started making a list of my favorite poems-it got very long. Here's one, \"Gilvan's Department Store, Warwick, NY\" where \"her staircase and curved banister \/ proudly transported you up and down her spine.\" I love that \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eParadigm Shift\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates aging too, not shying away from its infirmities, as in the title poem, \"Grateful for the view \/ through this new lens.\" Don't miss the view!\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Stern\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe Have Been Lucky in the Midst of Misfortune\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBut Today Is Different\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnother Word for Love\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poems in this wonderful volume shine both individually and as a group. They are direct, honest, and full of a life well lived and beautifully conveyed. Ms. Rosner has the gift of what I would call poetic summation. The relationship of her parents is complicated, \"a duet of opposites.\" Her initial feeling on meeting her future husband: \"He owned the space around him.\" These are just two examples. Rosner is also a fine story teller, her vignettes of life in New York reviving my own memories of the City's pain and beauty. This slender volume will take little time to read, much time to fully absorb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eWalter Frank\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Sense of the Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLaw and the Gay Rights Movement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eDo We Have a Center?: 2016, 2020 and the Challenge of the Trump Presidency\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJudith Rosner's debut poetry collection, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eParadigm Shift\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ereflection on love, life, self-awareness, and the human spirit that spans the generations. Rosner encourages readers to reflect on their own lives, to mend inner wounds, and to celebrate the goodness we tend to forget. Her memories are crisp and vivid. Her poems describe everyday experiences, despairs, and hopes, giving expression to emotions we all feel in creative, insightful, and sometimes humorous ways. Both avid poetry readers and novices will find the poems accessible, relevant, and entertaining. It is a collection I will return to often and is a book well worth reading and owning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllen Smuckler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author of five poetry collections, including \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mystery of Time: Conversations Over Wine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Rosner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798901469040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Judith Rosner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517204214015,"sku":"9798901469040","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f62cd161-d99b-4bd5-95a1-709713088462.jpg?v=1778730616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paradigm-shift-judith-rosner-9798901469040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
