Journey Fruit
Journey Fruit
Kinereth Gensler
“Kinereth Gensler has traveled far, moving freely across barriers, from Skowhegan to Jerusalem, from Hyderabad to Boston, and she brings everything she knows—wildflower and losses, grief and acceptance—into the continuous present of poetry. Journey Fruit is a graceful, wise, and rewarding book.”

Additional Praise:
“In understanding poems and brilliant short prose memoirs, Journey Fruit tells of a lifetime’s travel (‘an orange is the perfect journey fruit’). Kinereth Gensler spent her 1930’s childhood winters in Jerusalem and summers in Maine. As a girl, Gensler loved ‘the four sister ships of the American Export Line—the Exeter, the Excalibur, the Excambion, and the Exchorda.’ She writes, ‘After the war I asked around to see which of the Exes had survived the Nazi U-boats, but none of them had.’ Alert to irony and at ease with sorrow, Gensler offers us a generous, exciting book.”
