Description: "An exploration of the kabbalistic worldview in the poetry of Jewish mysticism scholar Elliot R. Wolfson, On Wings of Moonlight - a phrase taken from one of the poems - illuminates the poetic and philosophic kinship between Wolfson, Franz Rosenzweig, and Paul Celan. Displaying a deep knowledge of the literary, philosophical, Jewish, and feminist traditions that inform Wolfson's academic work, Galli argues that his prose cannot be fully appreciated without consideration of its poetic dimensions."--BOOK JACKET.
