What We Hold No Longer is a collection of poems written from the perspective of someone whose world, identity and vital force is disappearing. That aging is experienced as an insistent force mirrored in culture itself: a force of indifference that eventually abandons us. A long life of varied tales, that for any individual represents their 'beautiful era'. Aaron Gedaliah is a poet whose life has been one of depth and reflection. Someone whose career made death and tragedy unavoidable. In such an environment, meaning and reflection are unavoidable, and therefore, helps explain their lifelong interest in philosophy, psychoanalysis and matters of the soul. Such topics have been the foundation of his poetry explored in his previous works and have been expanded upon in 'What We Hold No Longer'. As in his other works, poems are grouped together in themes. These themes approached from a deeply psychic perspective including: personal transformations throughout life, existential encounters with 'Nothingness,' the rise of fascism, loss, and the realm of an interior life (both our conscious narratives and our river of unconsciousness). What Gedaliah refers to as 'the I of my other, who moves silently with me' (The False God's Lullaby). The poems in this current collection maintain characteristics that reviewers of his previous works have consistently noted. That 'Gedaliah seamlessly blends philosophical depth with artistic expression, offering a deeply reflective journey through identity and human complexity, striking a perfect balance intellectual exploration and emotional resonance'.

Aaron Gedaliah is a poet of the psyche whose life has been one of depth and reflection; made unavoidable by a career in which death and tragedy were witnessed on a daily basis. One that made meaning and reflection an imperative, and helps explain his lifelong interest in philosophy, psychoanalysis, and matters of the soul. Such topics are the foundation of his poetry explored in previous collections ('The False God's Lullaby' and 'Secondary Worlds') and expanded upon in his new offering 'What We Hold No Longer'.
