This book examines the poetry of Bernard Vargaftig (1934-2012) with a focus on his emphasis on the sacredness of words. His spiritual yearnings, as well as a need to heal due to lingering trauma from wartime hiding, are shown to underlie his poetry, which reflect a continual process of renewal and self-discovery.
