Sonnets of Pain and Forgiveness

<p><strong><em>SONNETS OF PAIN AND FORGIVENNESS </em>is a collection of sonnets written by author Judith Weinshall Liberman when she was ninety-one years old. The book is Ms. Liberman's fourth book of poems. Before writing the sonnets presented in this book she had published three books of poems <em>REFLECTIONS</em> (with her daughter Laura Liberman M.D.) in 2012 <em>PASSION</em> in 2013 and <em>SONNETS OF LOSS AND TRIUMPH</em> in 2021. She had also published a book titled <em>ZINA </em>(2013)<em> </em>about her mother's life and poetry. The story of Joseph as told in the Old Testament book of <em>GENESIS</em> plays an important part in the sonnets contained in the present book since the story of Joseph raises fundamental questions about pain and forgiveness as do these sonnets. The sonnets in <em>SONNETS OF PAIN AND FORGIVENESS</em> convey some of the important lessons Ms. Liberman has learned during her long life. </strong></p>
