Maya Bernstein's debut volume presents poems rigorously composed and delicately honed. It reveals the sensitive spirit and sharp mind of a mature speaker exploring the gaping space between the infinitude of the divine and the finite nature of human existence.

The Threads Between Us is a deeply emotional exploration of the human experience—spanning the complexities of love, friendship, family, faith and personal growth. Through a series of poignant moments, the narrative takes listeners on a journey through life's highs and lows, from the warmth of true love to the ache of heartache, from the burdens we bear to the joy in living. Each poem is a thread in the intricate fabric of life, connecting us to those we hold dear and showing us that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone.

Tender, direct and winningly witty, Swell distils the poet's complex feelings surrounding family and domesticity, exploring the contending weight and levity felt as she contemplates a thrillingly unfamiliar new chapter. Ferguson is a poet as alert to the absurd as to the shattering, and these are large-hearted poems, full of life and thought. Together, they invite the listener to join them in a search for self-acceptance, for freedom from shame, and for a path to stability in increasingly uncertain times.
