Book review: In the Illuminated Dark: Selected Poems of Tuvia Ruebner

[davidfcooper]

My two part review begins with the poet's bio and backstory in New York Journal of Books and continues with a discussion of his poems in examiner:

"Anglophone readers (especially those who also read Hebrew) will find both this handsome book’s bilingual presentation of Ruebner’s selected poems, and his heart wrenching backstory described by translator Rachel Tzvia Back in her informative introduction and endnotes, compelling reading."

The first review is more about the backstory of the man, while the second on the Examiner is more to my liking, being a fuller appraisal of the work.

Good job, David. :)
