To those who read or even glance at our poetry pages, I hope you will take the time to read carefully the essay, “Pearls from Tears” by Arlene Kramer Richards. It is simply magnificent, in its choice of poems, the excerpts from critics and translators, the information about the Yiddish language, her own commentary about the psychoanalytic connection and, most wonderfully, the sharing of her personal experience. We are most grateful for this addition to the ongoing conversation about poetry.
