New York City's DNA infuses Anita Pulier's newest collection of poems. Leaving Brooklyn is a delightful amalgam of memoir and celebration, a paean not just to Brooklyn, but to New York City replete with concrete evocations of places and experiences within the city's domain, celebrating beloved family members and traditions. Pulier's migration out of Brooklyn dovetails with the immigrant experience of the previous generation and the inevitable challenges of leaving home, starting a family, establishing a career and dealing with old age, death and loss. The collection offers a brave, no-nonsense acceptance of a life without the safety net of faith. As a secular Jew, Pulier sees her blessings as those of unconditional love for family, tribe, city, poetry, and the natural world- all sanctified by ephemeral and unpredictable luck. Pulier's salvation, is art, ...which can shine / a light on and celebrate imperfection.
