-Adele Kenny, Poetry Editor, Tiferet
In Truth to the Rumors, Nancy Lubarsky, in poetry both wise and eloquent, leads us across the varied landscape of her life. We learn about her baker father whose ghost appears / in my muffin batter, childhood vacations in the Catskills, where my parents met, and the poignant New Year's Eve note in The Path from the son who needed to go his own way. In the book's wonderful final poem, Train Ride, Lubarsky, upon seeing the passing billboards on her way into New York City, writes, I imagine / my stories on the back of these signs. / What's already happened is clearer. It is that clarity and perspective in her poems that make Truth to the Rumors a collection to cherish for, by sharing her journey in these beautifully crafted poems, we deepen our own lives as well.
-Edwin Romond, Author, Man at the Railing
Nancy Lubarsky guides us through a life of learning in her wonderful new book of poems, Truth to the Rumors. At each stage of her memories, she brings fresh insight to the evolution of language-from the family jibber-jabber 'round the kitchen table in a small apartment to her suburban family life in New Jersey and her career in education. Through all the learning, teaching, and traveling, she finds time to wrap up her wondering with reflections of hope and serenity in her own stubborn backyard on the changing frontier of the 'burbs.
