Book Synopsis
Kadya Molodowsky (1894-1975) was among the most accomplished and prolific of modern Yiddish poets. Between 1927 and 1974, she published six major books of poetry, as well as fiction, plays, essays, and children's tales.

Trade Review
The balance between situating the poems in their original framework and making them speak eloquently to today's reader is the major challenge of translating Yiddish poetry. Hellerstein has given us a comprehensive sample of one of the most important Yiddish women poets that is, as I can attest, an excellent introduction to Yiddish poetry for college students. Paper Bridges is a major contribution to the still relatively small library of Yiddish poetry in English translation and a reliable introduction to the poetics of Yiddish.""- Polin Review
