Shin Shalom: New Poems

This is a translation of the New Poems of Shin Shalom, by Ada Aharoni. Shin Shalom's poetry deals with both modern and biblical textures, his Hassidic exuberance and heady themes: existential anguish, the nature of faith, the Holocaust and the rebirth of the Jewish nation, present formidable challenges. The translator overcomes them all and presents the reader with a superb version of this great poet and philosopher.
