The Broken Heart is the Master Key is Baruch November's masterpiece. The poems in this new collection have been honed by years of skilled craft, love, and longing for connection - whether with a woman with chestnut hair or with the Divine. November here infuses the dreams of his younger poetic self with the clear, sometimes sharp realism of a man who has known loss yet still embraces the world with open arms. The result is a unique Hasidic dance, a lyrical niggun that lingers in our hearts long after the last page.

Autorenporträt
Baruch November's new book of poems, The Broken Heart is the Master Key, features "After Esav," a poem nominated for a Pushcart Prize. In 2019, November's previous book of poems, Bar Mitzvah Dreams, was released, and Stephen Dobyns called the book "one of the best he had recently read." An earlier collection of poems by Baruch, Dry Nectars of Plenty, won BigCityLit's chapbook contest. Thomas Lux proclaimed that the poems inside it were by "a poet of talent, urgency, and a large and aching heart." November's works have been featured in Lumina, Paterson Literary Review, Tiferet Journal, NewMyths.com, and the Forward. He serves as a host and organizer of the Jewish Poetry Reading Series. It has featured such poets as Linda Pastan, Grace Schulman, and Alicia Ostriker. For two decades, Baruch November has taught courses in Shakespeare, Multicultural American Literature, poetry, fiction, and writing at Touro University in Manhattan. He has lived in many cities across the United States but currently resides in Washington Heights, New York.
