By (author): Ella Zeltserman

Ella Zetsermann’s latest collection of poetry pushes and pulls, stretches taught and snaps back upon the weight of history and the struggle to place oneself in the here and now.

Wistful and aching, loving and tender, Zeltsermann’s poems are charged with the potential of a coming storm.
