"A poet of wit, spit, and polish, Aaron Rosen deals with two major themes, love and language, each held close and at furthest distance. He is simultaneously spare and rich; he is the master of opposites brought into close proximity, call it a storm and calm, or the proximity of appearance and illusion, certainty and hesitation. His is poetry of discovery and preservation--the structures of his art." --Stanley Moss Praise for Reluctant Mirrors "The Hall of Mirrors is also of course a site of infinite reflection. It is in that place Aaron Rosen chooses to stand . . . he discovers marvels of form there, flesh, shadow, pulse, ash, syllable and silence, glyphs of our becoming and unbecoming." --Michael Palmer

What does Jewish art look like? Where many scholars, critics, and curators have gone searching for the essence of Jewish art in Biblical illustrations and portraits of rabbis, Rosen sets out to discover Jewishness in unlikely places.
