Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cave of Machpelah and Other Poems In Kirjath-Arba, there's a voice of grief; - It comes from breaking hearts, all full of woe; And who shall give the throbbing breast relief, Or dry the fount from whence these sorrows flow? Yes, there is grief in Hebron - grief that wrings From the sad sufferer tears, from out the heart, Unmitigated, deep, - a grief that flings To the idle winds, the words which friends impart. No common woe is here, 'tis Abraham weeps, - Weeps for the dead, for Sarah; who now lies Upon the lowly couch, and sweetly sleeps; - No power can bid her wake, but from the skies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Leper: And Other Poems "It is a good lesson," says Hawthorne, "though it may be a hard one, for a person who has dreamed of literary fame, and of making for himself a rank among the world's dignitaries by such means, to step out of the narrow circle in which his claims are recognised, and to find how utterly devoid of significance beyond that circle, is all that he achieves and all that he aims at." I am now stepping out of that charmed circle, and tremble lest the above truth may be too rudely enforced. In presenting my unassuming little volume to the public, I feel more than the usual share of timidity attendant upon such ventures, for I come before them unknown and unnamed. To my co-religionists I offer no apology - the very sincere love I bear for the faith of my adoption, will be to them a sufficient apology for my indifferent poetry, and, I trust, cause them to overlook much that might otherwise be condemned. But to those whose path is not as mine, and who may not be disposed to judge with equal leniency, I have no excuse to offer, but screen myself behind the shield of insignificance.

II.

Download or read book The Glatstein Chronicles written by Jacob Glatstein and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1934, with World War II on the horizon, writer Jacob Glatstein (1896–1971) traveled from his home in America to his native Poland to visit his dying mother. One of the foremost Yiddish poets of the day, he used his journey as the basis for two highly autobiographical novellas (translated as The Glatstein Chronicles) in which he intertwines childhood memories with observations of growing anti-Semitism in Europe. Glatstein’s accounts “stretch like a tightrope across a chasm,” writes preeminent Yiddish scholar Ruth Wisse in the Introduction. In Book One, Homeward Bound, the narrator, Yash, recounts his voyage to his birthplace in Poland and the array of international travelers he meets along the way. Book Two, Homecoming at Twilight, resumes after his mother’s funeral and ends with Yash’s impending return to the United States, a Jew with an American passport who recognizes the ominous history he is traversing. The Glatstein Chronicles is at once insightful reportage of the year after Hitler came to power, a reflection by a leading intellectual on contemporary culture and events, and the closest thing we have to a memoir by the boy from Lublin, Poland, who became one of the finest poets of the twentieth century.
