I really need your help.  The book of my selected poems is being held up by the title.    I don’t mean the book is ready and all we need is the title, but only with the title can I begin to conceive of the book. 

The press is ready.  Even the funding is on the way.  The problem is that the poems still need to be weeded out.  And I can only conceive of a complete book once I have the title.  My publisher is an intellectual – I am not.

Or at least not today.  But maybe tomorrow – for a few hours – It is not only that I am a changeable person.  History changes daily.  Age-old trees are torn down and we have no way of knowing what if anything will be planted.  How can I give a firm title to anything?

  1. Perhaps you could call it “A Doting Savta’s Recollections “and dedicate it to your grandkids
    It describes who you are , someone who loves her family, has many years of poems and stories to share , lives in Israel and speaks Hebrew . Just a thought . Good luck

  2. thanks for your help. There are so many people who deserve acknowledgment. I cannot begin to enumerate them now – but only with encouragement and support can I even begin to show poems to others.
