The book SONNETS OF SEPARATION AND SURVIVAL is a collection of sonnets written by author Judith Weinshall Liberman when she was ninety-two years old. The book is Ms. Liberman’s eleventh book of poems. Before writing the sonnets presented in this book, she had published ten books of poems: REFLECTIONS (with her daughter, Laura Liberman, M.D.) in 2012, PASSION in 2013, and eight 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, SONNETS OF ENVY AND EXILE and SONNETS OF ESCAPE AND DISCOVERY, all in 2021

. She had also previously published a book titled ZINA (2013) about her mother’s life and poetry. The Old Testament story of Noah plays an important part in the present book. Noah’s survival of the flood is viewed by the author as a mixed blessing. While Noah and his immediate family survived the flood, Noah must have missed his native land and those he had left behind. This book conveys some of the important lessons Ms. Liberman has learned during her long life.
