Sonnets of Escape and Discovery

The book SONNETS OF ESCAPE AND DISCOVERY is a collection of sonnets written by author Judith Weinshall Liberman when she was ninety-two years old. The book is Ms. Liberman's tenth book of poems. Before writing the sonnets presented in this book, she had published nine books of poems: REFLECTIONS (with her daughter, Laura Liberman, M.D.) in 2012, PASSION in 2013, and seven books of sonnets: SONNETS OF LOSS AND TRIUMPH, SONNETS OF PAIN AND FORGIVENESS, SONNETS OF SETBACK AND HOPE, SONNETS OF GRIEF AND PRIDE, SONNETS OF BETRAYAL AND ACCEPTANCE, SONNETS OF POWER AND HONOR, and SONNETS OF ENVY AND EXILE, all in 20211. She had also previously published a book titled ZINA (2013) about her mother's life and poetry. The Old Testament story of Jonah plays an important part in the present book. Jonah's attempt to escape God's command and his discovery that there was no escape have reverberated with the author increasingly through the years. This book conveys some of the important lessons Ms. Liberman has learned during her long life.
