This Remarkable Volume Introduces To The Large Englishspeaking Audience What Is Probably The Most Coherent Segment Of Twentiethcentury American Literature Not Written In English. The Range Of American Yiddish Poetry Runs The Gamut From Individualistic Verse Of Alienation In The Modern Metropolis, Responses To Western Culture And Ideologies, And Experiments With Poetic Form And The Resources Of The Yiddish Language, To The Vitriolic Associative Chains Of A Politically Engaged Anarchist Existentialist; From Hymns To Urban Architecture And Landscapes And The Plight Of African Americans To Confrontations With The Experiences Of Jewish History And The Loss Of The Yiddish Language. The Bilingual Facingpage Format, The Notes And The Biographies Of Poets, The Selections From Yiddish Theory And Criticism, And A Comprehensive Introduction To The Cultural Background And Concerns Of The Poetry Enhance The Poems Themselves.
