Aaron Gedaliah is a poet of the psyche whose life has been one of depth and reflection; made unavoidable by a career in which death and tragedy were witnessed on a daily basis. One that made meaning and reflection an imperative, and helps explain his lifelong interest in philosophy, psychoanalysis, and matters of the soul.
Such topics are the foundation of his poetry explored in previous collections ("The False God's Lullaby" and "Secondary Worlds") and expanded upon in his new offering "What We Hold No Longer". These new poems maintain the characteristics reviewers of his previous works have consistently noted. That "Gedaliah seamlessly blends philosophical depth with artistic expression, offering a deeply reflective journey through identity and human complexity, striking a perfect balance intellectual exploration and emotional resonance."view less
