Jan. 24th, 2008 06:30 pmAn Evening of Israeli Erotic Poetry
David Cooper will read from his recently
published translation of Israeli poet
Rachel Eshed’s book “Little Promises” and
Pesya Altman will read Ms. Eshed’s Poems in Hebrew
(discussion and book signing after the reading)
In its Hebrew original, this collection of intense erotic poetry won the 1992 ACUM 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." A poem from this bilingual edition was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
