The speakers in Taub's poems find themselves squarely displaced between these two extremes, between the obligation to duty and the surrender to pleasure, the lightness of daily foibles and the darkness of long-held secrets and shame. The poems-bold, unfettered-are draped around the reader like \"a necklace of whispers\"-as objects both of beauty and of restraint. Taub is a poet in whose hands I feel moved and informed, comforted and implored. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Jensen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Author of \u003cem\u003eThe First Risk\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a dazzler for any of us who live between cultures and find it hard to negotiate between absolute identities. In poems more urgent than well-mannered, Taub cuts to the bone again and again, making lyrical incisions through history, memory and myth in a spirit of comic melancholy and lament. \"Rosa, Rosa, how did it come to this?\" he asks, as if speaking for all of us who have emerged from the last century complicated, thinking and feeling too much. Here is a mind embodied enough to imagine the resiliency of \"a foreskin ... spontaneously sprouted!\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJulia Spicher Kasdorf\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Author of \u003cem\u003eThe Body and the Book: Writing from a Mennonite Life \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUncle Feygele is a funny, insightful, and amazingly humane collection of poems. While the poems cleverly connect the seemingly disparate identities of being openly queer and an Orthodox Jew, they also manage something much bigger-illuminating the tiny struggles and tricks of memory that are a part of all human experience. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eT.
