This anthology reveals both an amazing achievement of Jewish creative work and an important body of American poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This latest work of Benjamin and Barbara Harshav, truly the doyens of the field of Yiddish poetry in translation, is an important achievement. Many anthologies have tended to give relatively furtive glimpses of a poet's creation, or suggestive hints of the flavours of his or her poetry. Both the impressive, but not cumbersome, size of this anthology and its historical and geographic focus allow for making more than such fleeting acquaintances. The strength of the work, the thing that makes it of such moment, is the heterogeneous and fluid notion of \u003ci\u003eAmericanness\u003c\/i\u003e which is at the heart of the project.\"—\u003ci\u003eModern Language Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This anthology consists of excellent English translations of the Yiddish poetry of major American Yiddish writers... highly recommended reading for all.\"—\u003ci\u003eAssociation of Jewish Libraries Newsletter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:A Note on Transcriptions\tiii  Preface\tiii  @toc1:Prelude\t000  @toc1:Part One: Proletarian Poets\t000  @toc2: Morris Rosenfeld(18621923)\t000  Dovid Edelshtat(18661892)\t000  Yoysef Bovshover(18731915)\t000  @toc1:Part Two: The Lyrical Turn\t000  @toc2: Yehoash (18721927)\t000  Mani Leyb (18831953)\t000  Y.
