Reviews
Philip Terman s Our Portion: New and Selected Poems is an amazingly rich and vibrant collection of poems. Terman regales us with poems rooted in the Jewish faith and tradition. The poems do not preach but instead instruct us in a way of seeing the world. They are lyrical and transcendant, exultant and poignant. He celebrates the natural world and human relationships with equal ease and grace. Terman s world is a gracious world, presided over by a God who loves not only us but creation in its entirety. The new poems in the collection are compelling to read and establish Terman s greatness as a poet. Sonja James, The Journal (WV)"
