Seder, the debut poetry collection by Adam Kammerling, has been named a finalist in the National Jewish Book Awards.
The Jewish Book Council has announced the winners and finalists of the 2020 National Jewish Book Awards and we are delighted that Adam Kammerling’s Seder has been selected as one of the four finalists in poetry. Seder joins the ranks of the hundreds of well-respected, classic Jewish books that have been National Jewish Book Award finalists.
Described by Ilya Kaminsky as “a beautiful lyric collection”, Seder is an archival and deft account of a person reckoning with their heritage and family history. Hybrid, dexterous and informed, Kammerling retraces his Jewish ancestry as poems fluctuate through time and space, leaving us with a forbidding sense that what has changed over recent decades is not enough.
Inaugurated in 1950, The National Jewish Book Awards, now in its 70th year, is the longest-running North American awards program of its kind and is recognized as the most prestigious. The Awards are intended to recognize authors, and encourage reading, of outstanding English-language books of Jewish interest.
Seder is available now in paperback here.
