Winner of the Paul Nemser Prize from the Lily Poetry Foundation, Shepherd's Hour pinpoints the intersection of history, culture, and geopolitics facing Jews in America today. Witty, elegiac, ironic, clear-eyed, and at times defiant, this book holds fast to what it uncovers: \"Praise faith,\" declares Santer, \"that defies gravity, our most ancient language.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBonnie Proudfoot, author of the novel Goshen Road, long-listed for the PEN\/Hemingway, and Household Gods, poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 26, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43153550377023,"sku":"9781957755533","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/mgx0KYWdkM9781957755533.webp?v=1776948525","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/shepherds-hour-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
