About this Event

Not just a memoir of breast cancer and the Camino de Santiago. It's also about Jewish identity, atheism, family, AIDS, COVID, metaphors and similes, breathing, bricolage, journeys, self-reflection, and hypothetical cuckoos. Through richly-layered fragments of lyrical prose and poetry, Shoshana conveys the rhythms of thought, feeling, and walking in a sparkling narrative mosaic. A 2023 Firebird Book Award winner in LGBTQ
Nonfiction.

In short lyrical prose and poems, the author considers her pilgrimages on the Camino de Santiago. Her reflections touch on birds, Columbus and Isabella, a pilgrim's death, being Jewish in Spain, the hero's journey, the mythic and symbolic, meditation, the quest for balance in the pilgrim and the pilgrimage, and the malleability of story.

Shoshana D. Kerewsky is a retired psychotherapist and faculty emerita. She has walked the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage several times as a queer, Jewish-Buddhist atheist. Her writing has appeared in such varied publications as La Concha, fiction international, Which Lilith? Feminist Writers Re-Create the World's First Woman, The Psychology of Harry Potter, Responsible Travel Guide Cambodia: Improving Lives Through Thoughtful Travel Choices, and professional journals.
