Harshav B. (eds.) American Yiddish Poetry. A Bilingual Anthology

Berkeley/Los Angeles/London: University of California Press, 1986. — 813 p.
ISBN: 0-520-04842-3This book attempts to introduce a body of American poetry written in Yiddish in the twentieth century, its cultural background, achievments, and concerns to a larger audience. We hope that readers of poetry as well as those interested in American literature and history will find some new texts and themes among the poems collected here. This volume is not intended merely for a Jewish audience or only for those who understand Yiddish; we believe that there are poetic qualities and human topics here that should be part of general culture, in spite of a language barrier.
