The Jewish Poets from Moses to Hannah Senesh

"The Jewish culture has been a mesmerizing source of life, art, tragedy, and beauty for millennia. Too often when we hear the word 'Jew' or 'Jewish' our responses go first to tragedy and stereotype, before perhaps we explore the richer background of the unique wonders of its culture, its forms of art and its embrace of life. To be Jewish is not a simple example of one person or one family; it is a collective form of identity. Jewish history has often been rightfully portrayed as difficult, as a people being unfairly oppressed and downtrodden, marked out for discrimination and even death. But Jewish history also has darker notes against others when in its own ascendancy. We follow the poetry of Jewish Culture in this volume from its Biblical days to more modern times. Poets have a unique perspective, they can question, put differing views and prejudices forward and begin debate. Here we explore the storied verse of Jewish poets who observe, feel and share all that they see around them from Amy Levy, Isaac Rosenberg and Anna Margolin to Solomon Ibn Gabirol and Jehudah Halevi."

Born in the USA - The New York City Poets

"Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades.The United States may be many things: the world's policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy.Little wonder that's its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art. Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up. In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in one of the most famous cities in the World: New York. Within its five boroughs are a small universe of wonder and magic, a kaleidoscope of almost everything the planet has to offer. In past times New York was a gateway to a new land and a new future whatever the misery and tragedy of your former life. Of course, this golden vision was not attained by everyone. But our local poets, including such luminaries as Emma Lazarus, Herman Melville, Edith Wharton, Alice Duer Miller, and Alan Seeger bring vision and truth to this unrivalled city and its hallowed status in the world of verse.1 - Born in the USA.

The 4th Of July A Holiday In Verse

"The Fourth of July - A Holiday in Verse. On 29th November 1775 Thomas Jefferson said "Believe me, dear Sir, there is not, in the British Empire, a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do. But, by the God that made me, I will cease to exist, before I yield to such a connection on such terms as the British Parliament propose, and in this I think I speak the sentiments of America". The War for Independence had already started some months previously and with no prospect of a reconciliation it was on the 4th of July 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was announced by the Continental Congress and that the thirteen colonies no longer considered themselves part of the British Empire and were now an Independent Nation - The United States of America. Their proclamation of independence set human history on a new path. "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that amongst these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Here our poets reflect on why this day is so proudly celebrated each and every year."

Emma Lazarus, John Pierpoint, Thomas Paine (Author), Ghizela Rowe, John Michael MacDonald, Richard Mitchley (Narrator)
