an artist who lives in Shelby
Township. Working as a corporate
graphic artist by day, Martin does her
kids art" in the evenings.
Rodgers was thrilled to find an artist
who seemed "to be off on the same
loopy wavelength."
"It was great fun getting Julie's e-
mails," said Rodgers. "I would look at
her artwork and laugh, and I knew
they were perfect."
Rodgers also conducts hands-on
workshops for classroom groups of
various ages. With the help of her
"magic suitcase," Rodgers inspires stu-
dents of all ages to create their own
poetry, complete with illustrations.
The students' works are then "pub-
lished" on the Poetry Lady's own Web
site: www.ThePoetryLady.com .
A Little Bit of Nonsense is Rodgers'
first book. Her poems have been pub-
lished in children's anthologies, such as
Children's Digest, Junior Trails and Jack
Prelutsky's 20th-Century Collection of
"
.
Poetry for Children.
A self-employed copywriter, Rodgers
lives in Huntington Woods with her
husband, Peter. They have two sons,
Ted, a recent graduate of Michigan
State University, and David, a sopho-
more at MSU.

Sex in the Texts'
•
When Rabbi Paul Yedwab of Temple
Israel told his wife Wendy he had been
asked to write the book, Sex in the
Texts (UAHC Press; $12), he says she
jokingly asked him, "Couldn't they
find an expert?"
"But the fact is, this is not a Jewish
sex manual," he says. "It's less
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know
About Sex and more "What Does the
Jewish Tradition Say About Sex?" •
When the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations came to the
West Bloomfield rabbi, who has
authored other learning publications
for them, they wanted him to write a
book on text study, but with a curricu-
lum that would draw readers.
He drew on the experience of teach-
ing a "Sex in the Text" course at his
synagogue for several years. "For the
book, I chose short snippets and inter-
spersed my comments to make it
accessible," he says.
Looking to include various sources,
including Torah, Bible and Midrash,
he turned to Jennifer Tisdale, a
Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion rabbinical stu-
dent. "She acted as my research assis-
tant, digging out more esoteric texts
and helping me with some of the
translations," Rabbi Yedwab says.
He wrote the book to be used by
educators in any high school or adult
education class. A final chapter deals
with the Reform Jewish view on how
issues such as non-marital sex, homo-
sexuality and abortion have changed
with time.
The rabbi's current project is a book
about text study and God, also to be
published by UAHC Press, in
September 2002.
