In her debut collection of poetry, And God Said...: A Brief History of Creation, San Francisco author Barbara Leff fills in some of the chinks in the Creation stories from the Book of Genesis. Melding traditional Judaic sources with personal insights and a vivid poetic imagination, she recasts and fleshes out the familiar sagas of Adam and Eve, Abraham, Noah, Lot's Wife and a biblical host of characters who inhabit the heart of our culture. In verse combining mordant wit with intense immediacy, Leff offers a provocative new rendering of the stories we think we know so well.
