Between These Borders Wanders a Golem

In attempts to reclaim a shadowed past, the glimpses into the dark might start with a dream, an article or a memory. In Ahuva S. Zaslavsky's first collection of writing, Between These Borders Wanders a Golem, questing story-creatures shape-shift beyond what we might easily categorize. This hybrid book of poems, flash, and short stories presents psychic investigations into memory, trauma, and repeating ideas that roam a body. The in-between landscape that emerges between tales and characters urges meaning-makers to question whether we ever really remember the past, simply create it anew each time we reach into our dark memories, or both. Claiming none of it, all of it and more, Zaslavsky names that it is "in this opening / everything can go wrong or be filled with joy."
