Songs Of Ascent

Jerry Hochbaum infuses his new poetry collection with thoughtful questions and inspired musings on the nature of the universe and our place within it. Hochbaum first became interested in poetry during his Jewish studies classes. Friday mornings spent in song and exploring the nuances of the word of God awakened a passion for the written word and its power to touch people. He has been writing poems his whole life, cataloguing both the personal and professional triumphs and losses. For the first time, he is sharing his work with others. Hochbaum's first poem, "Like the Tree of the Field Is Man," uses natural imagery to explore something profound about the nature of human beings. His poems touch on a number of other important issues. "Jubilee" celebrates the joys of aging. "Brotherhood" speaks of human connection and community. Each poem showcases Hochbaum's spirituality and personal optimism. Hochbaum's work reaches out to his readers and communicates the struggle and the reward in the search for personal identity, purpose, and belonging. Whether you are a young adult just starting your journey in life or someone older looking at the next step forward, Hochbaum's words will speak directly to your heart.
