Philip Miller worked in the automobile and real estate industries for thirty years; throughout, mornings were spent studying Talmud and Rabbinic Texts. Love of literature cultivated as a student increased with time. Praise Emptiness is his first published work. His novel, L.A Atonal, will be published in 2024. Visual artist, essayist, and book designer, Judith Margolis, draws on the spiritual when confronting the political, especially when exploring tension between feminism and religious tradition. Her published books include, Life Support Invitation to Prayer / Penn State Press; Train Music ~ Writing and Pictures, with CS Giscombe / Omnidawn Publishing; Countdown to Perfection, Meditations on the Sefirot, with Sarah Schneider / Bright Idea Books; and Country Commune Cooking, with Lucy Horton / Coward McCann and Geoghegan and American History Press.
