What happens when you realize you are not the person you always thought you were? When the past turns out to be a lie, how do you decide upon a present, and how do you begin shaping a future?

When I was in high school, I cleverly devised a way to maximize the amount of books I could blow my allowance on. I figured that if I bought used books, most of which sold for less than six dollars, I would be getting more for less. I thought I was a genius, even though I was just typing “used bookstore near me” into Google. I wasn’t doing anything revolutionary — but the books were.

Editor’s Note: This article was edited for clarity and length with the approval of Yehoshua November. It is very rare to find an Orthodox Jewish author who masterfully infuses their work with teachings of Jewish tradition. The poet Yehoshua November does this so beautifully and radically in each of his works. After receiving his BA from Binghamton University and his MFA from the University of Pittsburgh, November attended Chabad yeshiva in Morristown, New Jersey. For two years, he ceased to write.

I’ve never visited my parents’ hometown. Though they met in New York, my mother and father lived a mere fifteen minutes away from each other in Minsk, Belarus. I often wonder about the hundreds of ways their paths could have crossed. Were they ever in the same bakery at the same time? Did they study at the same library, learn to drive on the same streets? But this is a place I can only imagine, though I’ve seen images on computer screens and in grainy black-and-white photographs.

As is the curse that befalls many young, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed literature enthusiasts, I discovered one of my favorite writers a year after her death. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver slipped under my radar for a long time, though when I came across her poetry during the pandemic, there was something familiar about it. Her poems, I realized later, did exactly what poems are supposed to do.

As the new semester begins, allow me to offer a word of advice for anyone wishing to ask a humanities major what they plan to do with their degree: give them the space to answer. What I mean by this is that when you are speaking with someone who is majoring in a subject such as English or history, please don’t fill in their pauses with your own preconceived notions of what is possible.

“Thirty eight of 70 books completed. Two books behind schedule!” announces the little banner on my Goodreads profile. It’s only July, so being two books behind schedule isn’t too disastrous for my yearly reading goal, but the little banner seems to be mocking me. The exclamation point especially. I’m reading as fast as I can, I think pitifully, but then I stop myself. I’m reading as fast as I can?
