Description: Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin's poems are rich with references to his Jewish heritage and to the Bible and they draw on a first-hand awareness of the tragedies of World War II. Yvonne Green has worked for six years, using literal translations, to create 'versions' - poems after Lipkin that bring to English some of this fascinating writer's most characteristic verse.
