MENDELE Yiddish Language and Literature Personal Notices and Announcements Dec. 25, 2008
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ___________________________________________________ Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:00:33 +0000 From: yermiyahu taub <[email protected]> Subject: New Book of Poems (Mendele Personal) Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to announce the publication of my second book of poems, What Stillness Illuminated/Vos shtilkayt hot baloykhtn by Parlor Press (West Lafayette,Ind.) in its Free Verse Editions series. More information is available via the web links below. Thank you for your support and for spreading the word. Best wishes, Ahron http://www.parlorpress.com/freeverse/taub.html http://www.amazon.com/What-Stillness-Illuminated-English-Yiddish/dp/1602350922/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229633587&sr=1-1 Inspired by the poet's experience as an artist's model, What Stillness Illuminated/Vos shtilkayt hot baloykhtn is a kaleidoscope of mysterious tableaux vivants. Composed entirely of five-line poems, the book offers glimpses of individuals in moments of flux or revelation and suggestions of lives altered. By drawing on the dramatic potential inherent in brevity, Yermiyahu Ahron Taub invites his readers to extend the narratives beyond the borders of the poems to imagined conclusions of their own. Each of the poems in What Stillness Illuminated/Vos shtilkayt hot baloykhtn have English and Yiddish versions, and two poems also have a Hebrew version. ______________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when responding to Personal Notices & Announcements.
