With an observant eye, smart musical sense, and delightful craftsmanship, 16 year old Daniel Blokh delivers a mature meditation on identity. Perhaps it is possible to long for a life known only by story, and this collection pays homage to that space. - \u003cb\u003eNancy Lili Gonzalez\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFoxing Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRound Top Poetry Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSorin Oak Review\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Blokh was the age of sixteen at the time of this publication.
