Freshly Squeezed Lemonade by Omer Zamir | Bulent Mourad
14 April 2015

Freshly Squeezed Lemonade is the patchy start to a whimsical career. Omer Zamir, a 23-year-old Israeli poet living out of Maine, has put together a patchwork of his 54 best musings and quips on life in this poetic exploration.  Full of romance, darkness, and sometimes oddity, the organically based words that make up Freshly Squeezed Lemonade are a force to be considered.

The depths of Zamir’s writing seem not to depend so much on what he experiences in life, but more so how he experiences them. This can be seen in pieces like “Love’s Metabolism” or the ambiguous “Room”.  

The only question left at the end of this study of heart and mind, is not what else can this young writer bring us but simply, what hasn’t he? I recommend this book to anyone who feels lost in the chaotic atmosphere of “now”. Omer Zamir is humbly a wisp of fresh air, or “freshly squeezed lemonade.”
