Book Synopsis
Through and in translation, poets have introduced new poetic styles, languages, and forms into their own writing, sometimes changing the course of literary history in the process. Strange Cocktail is the first comprehensive study of this phenomenon in modern Hebrew literature of the late nineteenth century to the present day.

""Thorough and elegantly formatted . . . Jacobs is highly knowledgeable and demonstrates impressive expertise. A notable contribution to modern Jewish literary studies, Israel studies, and translation studies, as well as the field of modern Hebrew literature and culture."" - Naomi Sokoloff, University of Washington
