There is a gentle, inviting glow to the poems, though the light they shed often lands on tragedy. With Kinship, Shrayer has expanded his place in the pantheon of �migr� poets."" -Boris Dralyuk, author of My Hollywood, poems and translator of Isaac Babel's Odessa Stories . ""In Kinship the poet Maxim D. Shrayer takes on our troubled times-including COVID-19, January 6th, the Russian invasion of Ukraine-as well as troubled past times, gracing these events with his honesty, sorrow, and multi-cultural perspective. Born in Moscow to a Jewish-Russian family, then immigrating to America, Shrayer comes to these moments with sensitivity and a unique eye. He sees bats at sunset as ""ugly, soft, and fast/ like old snapshots of the Soviet past,"" and understands, even lives, ""how time can history backward."" One is wiser for reading these poems, and richer for their beautiful language."" -Elizabeth Poliner, author of What You Know in Your Hands, poems and As Close to Us as Breathing, a novel" Author InformationMaxim D.
