Descriere So Many Warm Words: Selections from the Poetry of Rosa Nevadovska - A bilingual edition of Yiddish poems - Rosa Nevadovska

\nStep into the vivid, unsettled, and sometimes lonely life of the poet Rosa Nevadoska. With a strong foundation in Jewish and Russian education, Nevadoska's seemingly endless intellectual hunger pulled her from her native Bialystok home to Ghent, Brussels, Berlin, Paris and, ultimately, the United States.\n \nHer first publications were in Russian. Then came her Yiddish works. Here, in So Many Warm Words, see the world through her eyes, with poignant, heart-wrenching images. Walk with her through scenes of quiet despair and indelible signs of hopelessness. Share her fleeting joy at the wonder of the mysteries of the night, the sparkling silence.\n \nNevadoska crafts magnificent metaphors, creative and concise. Readers will marvel at the complex wave of emotions the poet can evoke in such succinct storytelling in the space of as little as eight verses.\n \nThe immediacy of these poems will transport you; the skillful translation by Merle Bachman will guide you to places of love and loss, healing and heartbreak.\n \nNevadoska says, No thing is silent. Everything possesses a voice. Revel in these poems as she shares the voices of city, mountain and sea; of joy, despair and yearning.\n \n \nStep into the vivid, unsettled, and sometimes lonely life of the poet Rosa Nevadoska.
