Turning the Corner at Dusk is a searing collection of poetry. Starting in Presov, Slovakia, we join Jacquie Buncel as she accompanies her father back to his boyhood home. With poems as clear as snapshots we move through Buncel's growing understanding of the Holocaust and her connection with Judaism past and present. The collection ends with the celebration of new life as both she and her partner celebrate the births of their two daughters.
