"Little Promises"
Aug. 1st, 2006 04:33 pmMy translation of Rachel Eshed's book of poems is now featured on my publisher's website:
In its Hebrew original, this collection of intense erotic poetry won the 1992 AKUM prize in Israel. Novelist Tsipi Keller says, "It is hard to speak of Rachel Eshed’s poetry without mentioning 'fire' – her poems virtually burn on the page, and David Cooper’s renditions not only do justice to the original but magnify its richness."
