The Diamond Cutter's Daughter: A Poet's Memoir might be thought of as a nonfiction bildungsroman.
Told in short lyric pieces it gives a picture of what it was like to grow up in a working class Orthodox Jewish family in the wake of the Depression, WWII, and then the post-war boom.
Her father's business was a luxury trade, useless when there was scarcely enough money to put food on the table.
It reflects the first 20-some years of her life and of her household in Phil.
