After showing my friend Helevorn (author of "Lucky Wolf" and "Tales from the North" on Tapas) my unpublished epic poem, "The Shadow and the Maiden," she instantly told me about the Romanian poem, "The Vesper" or "Luceafărul," which reminded her of my work.

Those who know him well (such as Sam Abramov and Malka Spitzer) say he’s like a cactus - soft on the inside and prickly on the outside. This is the story of Joel Farber - debate enthusiast, stamp collector, and seeker of truth.
