It’s with understandable pride that I am able to announce the forthcoming appearance of my wife, Ruth Asch’s first book of poems, Reflections, to be published by the St Austin Press this month.

Although Ruth has been writing original poetry and verse translations from French and Hebrew for years, and is thus in no way a novice, we are both tremendously excited about her venture into the public domain.  Obviously I wouldn’t be much of a husband if I didn’t either stop her or support her in this, but on my honour I think it splendid stuff; and I encourage any of our readers to make up their own minds by visiting her blog which features samples from the new collection: http://www.ruthasch.blogspot.com/.
