Spring 2023 update: Unfortunately, swallow::tale press has recently closed its digital doors and will therefore no longer be distributing print or digital copies of my poetry book, The Golem Returns.
Effective April 2023, you can contact me to purchase signed print copies of The Golem Returns and I will be happy to mail them directly to you. If you are in or near Owego, NY, you can also buy copies from the Tioga Arts Council or the Riverow Bookshop. We are working on a plan to make online inventory available at the bookshop, too. Please stay tuned!
Accessible digital copies of The Golem Returns (in PDF format) can also be purchased from me directly.
“Join Diane Wiener and The Golem on their fabulist, philosophical escapades through everyday life. Companion to Wiener’s THE GOLEM VERSES (2018), THE GOLEM RETURNS carries with it renewed questions of creativity and friendship in a space where human norms have been Madly defamiliarized. THE GOLEM RETURNS is an enchanting conversation about the unknown and the known. With equal parts earnestness, mysticism, and whimsy, Wiener celebrates the Golem as a queer, crip, Mad, and uniquely Jewish figure, and as a deliciously mischievous muse.” – swallow::tale press
