Many to Remember Rachel Bernstein Kaufman

Poetry. In her debut poetry collection, Rachel Kaufman enters the archive's unconscious to reveal the melodies hidden within the language of the past. MANY TO REMEMBER unravels the histories of New Mexican crypto-Jews and the Mexican Inquisition alongside the poet's own family histories. Kaufman's poems follow fleshed like fables and the past's near ending to arrive at an alphabet, gardened, growing, creased and longing to translate the past for the present.
