Including chapters on such poets as Charles Reznikoff, Allen Grossman, Chana Bloch, and Michael Heller, this volume explores the tensions between religious and secular worldviews in recent Jewish poetry, the often conflicted linguistic and cultural matrix from which this poetry arises, and the complicated ways in which Jewish tradition shapes the sensibilities of not only Jewish, but also non-Jewish, poets. Finkelstein, described as "one of American poetry's indispensible makers" (Lawrence Joseph), whose previous critical work has been called "the exemplary study of the religious aspect of the works of contemporary American poets" (Peter O'Leary), considers large literary and cultural trends while never losing sight of the particular formal powers of individual poems. In Like a Dark Rabbi, he offers a passionate argument for the importance of Jewish-American poetry to modern Jewish culture, and to American poetry more broadly, as it engages with the contradictions of contemporary life." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American poetry $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $x Identity. 650 0 $a Jews in literature. 650 0 $a Judaism and literature $z United States. 650 0 $a Judaism in literature. 650 0 $a Jewish religious poetry, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Judaism and secularism. 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a American poetry $x Jewish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807385 650 7 $a Jewish religious poetry, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982944 650 7 $a Jews $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983278 650 7 $a Jews in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983388 650 7 $a Judaism and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984436 650 7 $a Judaism and secularism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745113 650 7 $a Judaism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984461 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103021511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=038E7CA42DF711EAB868BF0597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
