While his early poems tended to rely on linguistic exploration, his vision soon turned inward, as he came to favor the simple, the true, the authentic. Geldman's poems are direct and accessible, touching on and revealing the divine and the sacred in the so-called mundane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mordechai Geldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438472382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438472386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Excelsior Editions\/State University of New Yo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Mordechai Geldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485194531071,"sku":"9781438472386","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ee9c5cd-7beb-4e56-b56f-584c5bb0e3a6.jpg?v=1778048533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/years-i-walked-at-your-mordechai-geldman-9781438472386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
