2020 Visions: Marc Kaminsky
November 9 at 6:00 PMMarc Kaminsky is a Brooklyn-based poet, essayist, editor, and psychotherapist in private practice. The author of A Table with People and The Uses of Reminiscence,
he developed a model for writing and reminiscing groups for older
adults that has become a standard practice in gerontological settings.
The poems and stories in Kaminsky’s new book, Shadow Traffic,
offer a sustained meditation on living in the aftermath of trauma.
Migrating between disparate countries and memories—America and Eastern
Europe, Yiddish and English, language and trauma—the pieces in Shadow Traffic
constitute a shadow passport that allows readers to journey with
Kaminsky from the Bronx of his childhood to his Brooklyn office, with
multiple stops between.
