Giveth and Taketh by Rota - Cover Reveal


It's been a while since I featured any poetry on here so I'm delighted to be taking part in today's cover reveal for Giveth and Taketh, a poetry collection by Rota covering politics, race and religion. Thank you to Kelly Lacey at Love Books Group for the invitation. 



The Blurb:

Was Donald Trump able to become President because God abandoned us? Are Jews white? Does Hell have better weather than Heaven?

In Giveth and Taketh, Rota addresses all of these questions, discussing his own experience and political theology as a Jewish person in the Trump-era while also exploring broader issues of race, mental health and grief.

Giveth and Taketh was published by Wild Pressed Books on 25th May 2020.
