Description
Kabbalah is a Jewish mystical tradition, and Allen Afterman's book discusses the Kabbalah and how it relates to consciousness. Elie Wiesel says that the book is "magnificently reconciled" with poetry, and that Afterman's poetry is "an almost private religious poetry for our post-religious age." The book also includes an interview with the author.
According to Rodger Kamenetz, Allen Aftermans Kabbalah and Consciousness makes the major traditions of Jewish mysticism more clear and profoundly revealing than any other work on the subject. Elie Wiesel says, Poetry and mysticism are magnificently reconciled in Allen Aftermans book on Kabbalahs secret imagery and silent invocations. Here also is Aftermans poetry, described by Yehuda Amichai as an almost private religious poetry for our post-religious age. The book includes an important interview with the author.
