Posner, who is known for his adaptation of Potok’s masterpiece, “The Chosen,” again distills a sprawling novel into a series of key, crisply written scenes. ![]() In Aaron Posner’s “My Name is Asher Lev,” the absorbing but overly reverential take on Chaim Potok’s 1972 novel that opened last week at the Westside Theater, a young chasidic painter launches a career that puts him squarely at odds with his family and community. And then how bewildering to live in a community that frowns on these gifts and forbids their expression. How terrifying to be a child prodigy, to possess stunning artistic skills without the emotional maturity to handle them. ![]() ![]() Its run was extended several times, until January 2014. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 to positive reviews. The musical was developed through several readings and performances, including at the Ojai Playwrights Conference in 2009 and at the Sundance Theatre Lab and The Public Theater's Public Lab in 2012.

I think of her legacy as opening up space for herself and for others to live and breathe by-so it feels so right that these selections exist because it’s part of what she did in her poems and in her life. And I think about how profoundly she told the truth of her life when it was shunned or taboo to talk about abortion or illness or race or whiteness. I think of her as somebody who was always opening up space-whether it was in her poems or at a reading or around a table-and making space for stories. How do you see these selections carrying forward Lucille Clifton’s legacy?
