Inheritance (Yerushe)
Peretz Markish
Translated by Mary Shulman
Edited by Mary Shulman, Joan Braman and David Weintraub
This collection brings together in English the work of one of the most gifted and remarkable Jewish poets of the former Soviet Union. Suffused with a consciousness of suffering, homelessness, and inevitably, the Holocaust, these modernist poems are meditative, elegiac, and prophetic in tone, and touch on the themes of loss, loneliness, displacement, war, and the yearning for renewal. Inextricably bound up with Markish's Eastern European Jewish identity, they are also intensely personal, modern, and universal. Published bi-lingually with Yiddish/English facing pages.
