by Eileen Thalenberg (Author)
Step into the vivid world of And Yet... a collection of poetry where the extraordinary emerges from the seemingly ordinary. Penned during a time of stillness and isolation, these poems are anything but confined. Eileen Thalenberg, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, poet, and literary translator, captures fleeting moments and transforms them into timeless reflections on love, family, loss, and the enduring human spirit. Thalenberg's poetic voice is both intimate and expansive. Drawing inspiration from art, music, and mythology, she weaves a tapestry of personal and historical narratives that resonate deeply with our collective experience. From the elegance of Parisian streets to the stillness of a Sabbath evening, from the resilience of sparrows to the silent power of remembrance, her poems are rich with imagery, insight, and grace.
