N. Josephs (1928-2016) is the pen name of Rena Minkoff, who passed away earlier this year, surrounded by the things she loved most – her books, her art collection, her antiques, her garden and her children. A permanent resident of Israel and a mother of five, she always dreamt of coexistence. A translator-editor-librarian by profession, her work has appeared in The Guardian, Arc, on the BBC World Service ad in anthologies including Le Miroir, celebrating prize-winners of the Forum Femmes Méditerranée. She is greatly missed by her friends and family.

N. Josephs's work featured in Stand Magazine comprises two contributions of poetry and five articles, over a period of 10 years.
