Marcia Falk
Marcia Falk is the author of three books of poetry, This Year in Jerusalem, It Is July in Virginia, and My Son Likes Weather, and several
translations from Hebrew and Yiddish, among them The Song of Songs: Love Lyrics from the Bible, With Teeth in the Earth: Selected Poems of Malka Heifetz Tussman,
and The Spectacular Difference: Selected
Poems of Zelda. Her most recent book is a collection of original Hebrew and
English prayer, The Days Between:
Blessings, Poems, and Directions of the Heart for the Jewish High Holiday
Season. Excerpts from The Days
Between and The Book of Blessings
have been set to music by more than two dozen composers.
A lifelong painter, Marcia Falk is currently working on a
series of pieces that re-create the traditional Jewish mizrach, a plaque hung on the wall to indicate the direction to
face in prayer. Her re-creations combine
lines from The Book of Blessings and The Days Between with original pastels.
