Award Name National Jewish Book Award Award category Poetry The final collection by the late Jason Shinder, one of the finest of our new poets (Gerald Stern) I close my eyes and try to rememberwhen I was unopposed, when I started to die, buoyant, fragrant, shuddering with love.
--from BeforeJason Shinder's last poems are his moving testimonies to poetry, love, and friendship.
With power, clarity, and disarming humor, the poems confront grief and mortality with a humility and fortitude that come only with hope, stupid hope.
Stupid Hope is Shinder's wry, penetrating, and wise farewell.
