Item Description
SWIMMING IN THE RAIN: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS, 1980-2015
"ÂÂÂ?ÂÂÂ?Bloch'ÂÂÂ?ÂÂÂ?s Swimming in the Rain: New and Selected Poems is an epic compendium of one Jewish American woman's poetic journey that reaches back to the Bible and into the present moment. . . . Ambitious in scope, wide-ranging in subject, and attentive to the fault lines of history and the human heart, Swimming in the Rain is an essential contribution to American poetry." -- Philip Terman, Tikkun http://www.chanabloch.com/swimming_rain.html
THE SONG OF SONGS, trans. Chana Bloch & Ariel Bloch
"[This translation] has a crisp energy that mirrors the poem's springtime mood, and a phrasing that captures the impulsiveness and the delight of the lovers in each other and in their mutual imaginative play. . . . Next to Genesis, no book in the Hebrew Bible has had a stronger influence on Western literature than the Song of Songs. This attractive and exuberant edition helps to explain much of its power, while leaving its mystery intact. " -- Alicia Ostriker, The New York Review of Books http://www.chanabloch.com/song-of-songs.html
THE SELECTED POETRY OF YEHUDA AMICHAI, trans. Chana Bloch & Stephen Mitchell
"ÂÂÂ?ÂÂÂ?Chana Bloch translated the mature Amichai of the 70's and 80's, in some ways a sparer and more informal poet powerful sequences on war such as "Seven Laments for the War-Dead" and "Songs of Zion the Beautiful" stand at the center of his late work. In these poems Mr. Amichai's sardonic Jewish quarrel with God reaches a fever pitch worthy of the biblical prophets." -- Edward Hirsch, The New York Times Book Review http://www.chanabloch.com/amichai.html
