Safe Passage is Joanna Ezekiel’s second pamphlet. The poems in this collection draw on a multicultural background. Joanna traces the paths taken by her ancestors and the unusual mix of cultures within her family.

The ‘hard won safe passage’ is a theme that will reverberate with many, as will the whole of this short collection, leaving readers moved, enchanted and ‘rich as pilgrims’.

What the reviewers have said about Safe Passage:

Her range and treatment of her subjects in this slim volume are impressive, covering both the history of her Jewish family, intense childhood recollections, her journey through life, and more besides...

The compressed energy and an unswerving courage to tell the truth about her own family history marks many of Ezekiel's poems with a sharp edge — a kind of elegiac journey that leaves the reader wanting to know more.

Ezekiel is very good at painting images with her small, neat brush... the more I read, the more I felt each word had been carefully chosen and placed.
