This poem came about after hearing Natan Sharansky, the former Soviet dissident who spent nine years in jail, and Michael Douglas, the American movie star, speak recently about their Jewish pasts. Anti-Israel students were shouting outside the hall at Brown University, trying to drown out their conversation. My daughters and I were talking at home afterwards; the poem unfolded a week or two later.
