Born in New York, raised in Toronto, Jill Culiner has lived in several cars, one closet, a Hungarian mud house, a Bavarian castle, a Turkish cave dwelling, in a haunted house on the English moors, in the Sahara desert, on a Greek island, in several French villages and has worked as a go-go girl, belly dancer, fortune teller, translator, newspaper deliverer, radio broadcaster, contemporary artist, photographer, actress and writer. She has written two mysteries, Sad Summer in Biarritz, and Death by Slanderous Tongue. Her other books are: Finding Home In the Footsteps of the Jewish Fusgeyers, winner of the Tannenbaum Award for Canadian Jewish History; Félix et moi: à la recherche du patrimoine; a photography book, Sans s'abolir pourtant; and four romances. She now resides in a 400-year-old former inn in a French village of no real interest. Much to everyone's dismay, she protects all living creatures--especially spiders--and her wild (or wildlife) garden is a classified butterfly and bird reserve.

A Contrary Journey with Velvel Zbarzher, Bard published by Claret Press

10/7/2021

Velvel Zbarzher, rebel, songster, and glittering star of fusty inns, spent his life singing his Enlightenment poems to loyal audiences of poor workers and craftsmen in Austrian-Galicia, Romania, Vienna and Istanbul. His attacks condemning the religious stronghold resulted in banishment and itinerancy, but for Velvel and the other like the other reformers of his time, the compensations were great: heady stimulation, and an intellectual freedom prohibited in traditional life. Come travel back to the mid-1800s, discover the life, the villages, the odours, sounds and traditions. A Contrary Journey with Velvel Zbarzher, Bard by Jill Culiner Published by Claret Press
