Delphi Series Vol. 8 (Descendants of Eve)
Delphi Series Vol. 8 (Descendants of Eve) by Carly Sachs, graduate ’03, Creative Writing The New School
Blue Lyra Press, 2020
Descendants of Eve is an engagement with the every-day practice of joy, of faith and faithfulness, rendered with precision and tenderness. Sachs examines the varieties of love—parental, romantic, spiritual, ecological, generation—through the lens of her own conception and practice of Judaism; or maybe she examines Judaism through the varieties of love. This book is a delight—never sentimental, but full of sentiment of the most thought-filled kind.
