About this title

Synopsis:

Heartwrenching, direct, personal poems about the Holocaust and the resulting dislocation endured by its survivors and their children, with 44 accompanying photographs.

From the Publisher:

In very different styles, and with different experiences, the three poets of Counting the Stones bear witness, not only to the horrors of the Holocaust, but also to the immense difficulties of starting new lives and to the pain and dislocation passed on to the second generation. The poems reach back to parents and relatives to rescue grief-frozen remembrance. In writing this book, Gould, Haber, and Steinberg created a community among themselves, and, together, the poems create their own community, one that draws the reader in. The photographs reinforce the reality of the poets and their families.
