MidWest Book Review - December 2009
Well read in the works of Hebrew poets and literature, Dvorah Simon brings readers a unique brand of poetry with "Mercy". Spiritual and profound work, her poetry is a treasure and is well worth considering for many readers. "Mercy" well worth the time for those who like blending religion with their poetry. "Knife": Your desire for me/is a knife in my belly./Iwatch in slow motion/as the slice is made./Blood wells; it answers/ your demand./You step close,/and bring the taste of my passion/to your lips.
Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D., Author, The Courage to Love
Dvorah shows a startling capacity and willingness to sink to the depths of darkness, open her heart to absorb some alchemical lead of the human psyche, and then give birth to a poem that transmutes it into the gold of fully human consciousness. For this we can all be grateful and encouraged.
Selene Vega, M.S., M.F.T., Co-Author, The Seven-Fold Journey
Dvorah’s poetry reaches in to touch and awaken parts of us that have been buried or abandoned, and reminds us of who we are and what it means to be human. She keeps her eyes open on life’s journey and reports the experience in language that names and blesses pain and beauty alike.

This compilation of Dvorah Simon’s work is full of what makes poetry transformative. She looks with clear eyed wisdom and deep compassion at moments, large and small, which make up a tapestry of life as we know it. The rich sensual beauty of her language and her evocative imagery thread passion and astute truth through a web of spirit that that transmits the insight and inspiration we turn to poems for. Her work will touch you down to your soul.
Resonant Naming by Dr. Robert Rossel [October 13, 2008 on Amazon.com]
Dvorah Simon’s deeply meditative and evocative poems show an uncanny ability to explore some of the surprising pathways words take toward meaning. These words reflect years of working as a psychotherapist attempting to find ways to touch the depths of darkness of people who who are in great pain. With great sensitivity and wisdom, her poems awaken resources lying deep in the human psyche and point to unexpected gifts and insight. Deeply revealing and inspiring, her poems are persistent reminders of the mystery and wonder of being human. We all can be extremely grateful that these poems have come to life.
