In Shechinah at the Art Institute, published by San Francisco-based Blue Light Press, Keller
revisits the hardest years of the AIDS epidemic and reminisces about his time on stage with the
Kinsey Sicks. He also leans into areas of Jewish culture, queer identity, and living in the world
with an active sense of wonder.
Rabbi Irwin Keller, former lawyer and drag queen, has released a long- awaited volume of essays, memoir, and poetry, entitled Shechinah at the Art Institute: Words, Worry, Wonder. In this book, Keller, most recently known for his viral protest poem, “Taking Sides,” leads us on dazzling journeys into Jewish mysticism, love, loss, memory, gender, AIDS, and the Milky Way itself.
