Written in the wake of the sudden disappearance of her nephew, Jane Medved's award-winning Wayfarers tells of the struggle to process loss without any physical anchor. Threaded through these poems are clues to navigating our time on earth, as left for us by the Jewish Sages: poems responding to midrash, " mishna," and daily prayers. Part memoir, part spiritual exploration, Wayfarers charts the path from pre-birth, to life in the physical universe, to the departure of the spirit from the body-- a path all human beings traverse.
