People of the Book is a new group blog dedicated to Jewish books, Jewish explorations of books, Jewish literary and publishing news, and general insight into Jewish literary life.  It's the brainchild of Miriam and Paul Shaviv (of Bloghead); other contributors include Shawn Landres of Religion and Society, Ayelet Waldman of Bad Mother, Harry of Off the Beaten Bookshelf, and me.

My first post there consists of musings on one of my favorite Alicia Ostriker poems. I hope to see the blog become a forum for good book discussions; go, give it a read, and join the conversation!
