Love’s Fingerprints: Poems

Such wondrous clarity of language and sound are owed to feats of wisdom but also a loyalty to one’s revelations. - Major Jackson, author of The Absurd Man

Bernard Horn’s collection of prose and poetry investigates the deep imprints made on us by those we love, living and remembered: mother and father, wife/lover, children and grandchildren, ancestors known only by stories passed down, homes lost and homes holding us today, and two nations-the United States and Israel. Family life intersects with the larger world, with an undercurrent of the Book of Job.
