Atsiliepimai
Aprašymas
The son of Jewish immigrants from Russia to New York, Charles Reznikoff found himself at the intersection of modernist innovation, ethnic otherness, and economic hardship. He both appreciated the modernists' formal radicalism and critiqued their political failings--a task he accomplished by writing short lyric poems depicting the hardship and charm of urban life, as well as long poems presenting histories of horrific violence, from factory accidents to the Holocaust. But despite his contributions to American poetry, Reznikoff has remained a somewhat secondary figure, in part because his work--at times--is painful to read.
A Jewish Word or Two recasts Reznikoff 's poetry as pleasurable and masterful even when disturbing. In their humor, their encounters with Jewish history, holiness, and identity, as well as their use of drama, horror, joy, and beauty, Reznikoff 's poems help us celebrate what is simultaneously strange, surprising, lovely, and uncanny in our everyday lives.
