The range of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Yiddish Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e 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 facing-page 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Harshav, Barbara Harshav\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804751706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804751704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 8.00w x 1.80d","brand":"Benjamin Harshav","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926223585535,"sku":"9780804751704","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d928d4ec-3ff8-4cb8-9313-5f59d3c32ce0.jpg?v=1681081884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-yiddish-poetry-benjamin-harshav-9780804751704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
