Workshops for Publishing Poets with Barbara Helfgott Hyett


PoemWorks: "One of the Best Places for Workshops" (Boston Globe Calendar)
Rift


Barbara Helfgott Hyett’s new collection considers, from close and afar, the elemental forces coming to bear on human character in our time. The title poem spills across the face of history—9/11, Hiroshima, the harrowing geological formation of earth, the sudden appearance of cave art, and ultimately, the uncertainty of God.

While we ache for the loss in these poems, Helfgott Hyett risks such honest grief that redemption comes, free standing and moral,
on its own.
