soliloquies of a crosswalker

poems 1995-2011

Ayala Sella

Soliloquies of a crosswalker is a collection of poetry in four parts. It includes poems written throughout Israel and New York City between 1995 and 2011. The book chronicles the author’s restlessness and lack of good fortune between these two locales, from a college student, to an art history instructor, to a hotel receptionist and fruit-factory packer, to a high school English teacher. She turns twenty, moves to Brooklyn and adopts two cats. Later, she returns to live in the Holy Land after twenty years, adopts two dogs in the Upper Galilee, gets thrown out of a couple kibbutzim, and lives in nine homes. There is a lot of beer and any number of failed attempts, before her return, again, to Brooklyn.
