Infos

One Nation Taken Out Of Another is a joyride through the Five Books of Moses on the back of a strange chimera - with an American head, a Yiddish heart, and all manner of multicultural, bassackward, and wandering limbs grafted on to the whole. The included poems are in English, Yiddish, and both. It's midrash and whimsy, and an exploration of Bible, tradition, exile, redemption, and mystery.

Rezensionen

“Zack Berger is at the forefront of a generation of poets attempting to resurrect Yiddish as a literary language. In this respect, his service to literature has already far exceeded any personal dimensions – his translations of perhaps the greatest Yiddish poet, Avrom Sutzkever, are absolutely exquisite. In One Nation, he attempts to translate himself. In the poet’s own words, “The world was flooded with death/ and to save it all a man built a poem.” If you’d like to find out the answer to his question “How do you English a Yiddish nation?” please come along for the ride.” —Alex Cigale, poet, translator, editor
