Table of ContentsReviewsThis latest work of Benjamin and Barbara Harshav, truly the doyens of the field of Yiddish poetry in translation, is an important achievement. Many anthologies have tended to give relatively furtive glimpses of a poet's creation, or suggestive hints of the flavours of his or her poetry. Both the impressive, but not cumbersome, size of this anthology and its historical and geographic focus allow for making more than such fleeting acquaintances. The strength of the work, the thing that makes it of such moment, is the heterogeneous and fluid notion of Americanness which is at the heart of the project. -- Modern Language Review This anthology consists of excellent English translations of the Yiddish poetry of major American Yiddish writers... highly recommended reading for all. — Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter This anthology consists of excellent English translations of the Yiddish poetry of major American Yiddish writers... highly recommended reading for all. -- Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter Author InformationBenjamin Harshav is Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature at Yale University.
