Description: Employing lyrics, parables, testimony, paratactic narratives, recastings of Torah stories, and inter-leavings with other texts, these poems reflect upon cultural erasure and persistence. Paul Celan, Nelly Sachs, and the Yiddish-language poets Abraham Sutzkever and Peretz Markish become contemporaries in an era of refugees.--
