Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements April 24, 2013 To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text to [email protected] as plain text (no HTML, other coding, or attachments and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ___________________________________ [image: Description: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] I would like to let the list know of a new book of poetry by the Yiddish writer Chava Rosenfarb. The book is called Exile at Last: Selected Poems. Chava Rosenfarb translated most of these poems herself. I translated a few of the poems and some of the poems were written directly in English and have never before been published. The poems are taken from her three books of poetry in Yiddish, including some of the poems that she wrote in the Lodz ghetto and published after the war in her first book of verse called Geto un andere lider. The book also contains an introductory essay by Rosenfarb about the sense of alienation she felt living in Canada after the Holocaust. The book is available from the publisher, as well as from amazon. Here is the website: http://www.guernicaeditions.com/title.php?id=9781550716818 For those living in Montreal, there will be a launch of the book at the Blue Metropolis Literary Festival on Sunday, April 28th, at 5pm. The event is free and all are welcome. __________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
