Two Worlds Exist

Finalist for the 2016 National Jewish Book Award in Poetry Yehoshua November's second poetry collection Two Worlds Exist movingly examines the harmonies and dissonances involved in practicing an ancient religious tradition in contemporary America. November's beautiful and profound meditations on work and family life and the intersections of the sacred and the secular invite the reader-regardless of background-to imaginatively inhabit a life of religious devotion in the midst of our society's commotion. Yehoshua November's first poetry collection God's Optimism won the Main Street Rag Poetry Book Award and was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize. November's poems have appeared in Prairie Schooner The Sun Virginia Quarterly Review and The Writer's Almanac. He teaches at Rutgers University and Touro College and lives in Teaneck NJ with his wife and children.
