I’m pleased to announce that The Book of Voices will be published in physical book form in November by The Apocryphile Press, publishers of Shekhinah: The Presence and The Rounds. Stay tuned for more related happenings, including a complete revamp of thebookofvoices.com

The Rounds

Why, you may ask, was this nice Jewish boy wandering through a church late every night for more than five years?

The answers are in my latest book, The Rounds, now available from the Apocryphile Press. Created in collaboration with photographer Chelsey E. Stewart, the book presents images in words and pictures from Berkeley, California. The text developed from my blog entries earlier in this decade, focusing on the situations and people that I encountered and experienced late at night in my unexpected role as a security officer at a neighborhood church.

Shekhinah: the Presence

My first book, Shekhinah: the Presence, has been reissued by the Apocryphile Press. First published in 1992, this poetic meditation on the feminine image of the Presence of God in Jewish mysticism evolved from the dance/theatre piece of the same name. More information, including a web-readable version of the entire text of the book, is on the book page on this site.

Jerusaklyn front cover

I’ve posted the tracks and art from one of my old CDs, Jerusaklyn, online at the Internet Archive. It’s a collection of instrumental tracks that I recorded in Brooklyn between 1986 and 1989 and released in 1999. So this is the grand tenth anniversary reissue. Or maybe the twentieth anniversary. Or something like that.
