"Coming of age as a Jewish woman in America"In her first poetry collection, Rachel Mennies chronicles a young woman s relationship with a complicated God, crafting a nuanced world that reckons with its past as much as it yearns for a new and different future. These poems celebrate ritual, love, and female sexuality; they bear witness to a dark history, and introduce us to our God, the / collector of stories / and bodies, a force somehow responsible for both death and liberation. Here, Mennies examines survival, assimilation, and intermarriage, subjects bound together by complex, if sometimes compromised, ties to the speaker s Judaism. Through wit and careful prosody, "The Glad Hand of God Points Backwards "lays bare the struggles and triumphs experienced through a teenage girl s coming of age, showing the reader what it means to becomeand remaina Jewish woman in America."

Very impressive for the money
I ordered this not really knowing what to expect, they didn't have my size in the color I wanted but I had to try it anyway, so I went with light grey.
The suit is a bit snug, I would have to lose a few pounds to fit in it properly and I ordered a size up, so it does run small.
That said, for the price I can't believe how well made it is and how nice it feels
the pants are great, they fit well and have elasticity to them, the tie is a run of the mil tie but ok, it is fine and the jacket, I have bought jackets that cost me over $300 but this one came with the pants and tie for $80, how can anyone complain about that? Perfect for prom, date night a wedding or funeral, if you don't wear suits and just need one or two in the closet, this is for you.
