The Pulse between Pages:

About the Book

Written in the hush between thoughts and the roar of revelation, Benita Glickman’s seventh poetry collection, The Pulse between Pages: Poems that Whisper, Poems that Scream is as unpredictable and intimate as weather—real, raw, and personal. A monostich opens each door. Haiku, born of memory and eternal love, glimmer like stars. Micro poetry speaks with precision. Rhyming poems surprise and play. Free verse meditates on the many voices within us—some gentle, some strong. Every poem in the collection is a seashell on the ocean’s floor: listening, lilting, roaring. Each holds back waves of tenderness, making space for contradiction and inviting tension to relax. These pages pulse with myth, nature, emotion, and memory. This isn’t a book of answers. It’s a companion. It won’t soothe every ache, but it will sit beside you in the dark. Whether you curl up in silence, or read aloud with abandon, these poems meet you where you are—and lead you toward reflection and growth. Some whisper. Some scream. All breathe, break, and rebuild. Go ahead. Open the book. The pulse between pages awaits.
