Poetry. "Philip Terman is a poet of great compassion, one whose poems combine humor, tenderness, melancholy, passion and intelligence in a strong and lovely mix. His new book is full of the sense of what it means to be fully human and fully alive. Terman pays attention to things large and small, to family and memory, gardens and history, children and the elderly. The question he seems to be asking, in poem after poem, is, How can one best live this life? These are unabashed poems of love for a complicated universe"--Liz Rosenberg.

Book of the Unbroken Days

Poetry. Jewish Studies. In this revised first collection of poetry the Terman's speaker carries himself without skin, absorbing the particulars of the human struggles in its many dogged and eloquent forms, and recording it with capacious empathy. The writing is rich with the need to convey his confrontations and affections, and not simply in the striking detail but in the whole moment of his memory. Terman's poems, like those of James Wright, have a down-to-earth mysticism, a hard-earned spirituality which cuts through the haze of everyday. This collection is remarkable for its range, depth, and mature vision. Terman captures the heart of people, and the heart of places.

In these remarkable poems, Philip Terman explores the meaning of being a Jew in America. Personal and family history, prayer, religious exploration, and political invective are invoked
