JAHLit Poetry Reading: Rodger Kamenetz

The Betsy Hotel presents public programs for the 2023 Jewish American and Holocaust Literature Symposium. All events are free and open to the public. 

Rodger Kamenetz is a National Jewish Book Award winner. His books of poetry include The Lowercase Jew, Yonder and Dream Logic, and Terra Infirma which was described as “one of the most beautiful books ever written about a mother and a son." His most recent book is The Missing Jew: Poems 1976-2022 (Ben Yahuda Press, 2022)

"Among Kamenetz’s (new) collection’s abundant gems is this proverb: 'the mind is a moment late to the movie of the world.' But Kamenetz’s mind – or at least his voice – strikes me as being, consistently, right on time." – Jacqueline Osherow
