Book Review: A Sheer Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Benarroche's poetry is born out of the crucible of his own life's journey -- the deep influences of Spain, Morocco, and Israel, a virtual metonymy of Exiled Man, a poet powerfully modern, but one who brings to his readers the terrible centuries of the past. Throughout these 147 poems, Benarroche poignantly speak to discrimination, exile, and immigration, as the reader hears echoes of the Jewish quarters in Seville and Gerona, the ancient Moroccan festival of Mimuna, and the modern streets of Tel Aviv. But he is more than a glimpse into the fascinating worlds that have long since disappeared. From out of this milieu Benarroche weaves marvelous narrative poems, indictments against human pride in our time, resonating with clarity of voice and intensity of vision. Witness how his verse becomes proverbs of our modern world: 'I asked exile to be my country' (Country); 'the only homeland left for me/is the land of poetry' (The Swallows); 'if you see me in the street and I don't say/hello/it is not a declaration of war/but a look/into the future' (If You See Me In The Street). Benarroche is a poet much deserving of a wider audience!
