"Aurora Levins Morales's poetry radiates wisdom, warmth, and fortitude. A prophetic, life-centered guide for times of tumult and struggle."
- Arielle Angel, editor-in-chief of Jewish Currents
"Don't you need a blessing from the grandmothers? A reconsecration of your relationship to Earth? Then you need the words of this 'fierce Latina Jew holding out a rose to Palestine. In these poems, as always, Aurora Levins Morales reminds us that who we are has never been simple but who we are is also holy. These are the poems that invite us to act accordingly."
- Alexis Pauline Gumbs, author of Survival Is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde
"Drawing on a lineage of revolutionary poet-prophets, Aurora Levins Morales roots into the fertile margins and weaves the liturgy we need for these times of fire and crisis."
- Dori Midnight, community care practitioner, ritual leader, and writer
"This healing, generous collection from the voice of a treasured, prophetic elder is medicine for the long haul."
- Mónica Gomery, author of Might Kindred
Rimonim is a richly woven tapestry of poetry meant for use. From a time of rupture and uncertainty, beloved movement poet Aurora Levins Morales brings us a prayer book for the street, for reconstituting the future through our gestures in the present. In these poems of devotion and protest, Levins Morales speaks across and through time with an undeniably prophetic voice. Written in collaboration with various communities looking to honor, unravel, and rebuild Jewish liturgies, Rimonim is a book of lyric in the most immediate sense - of poems that are meant to be read and sung. Rooted in tradition and flowering in the tumultuous present, these poems will both accompany specific Jewish practices and offer inspiration for the sacred work of human liberation, where joy meets justice.
Ultimately, these forty-nine poems honor the forty-ninth year, when it was taught that everything in the land would begin anew, everything redistributed and freed, when the people would see that everything on this earth was "ready to wake and bloom / just under the skin of what is."
