The poet and Talmud scholar examines Jewish texts, sexuality, and
human vulnerability in poems that brim with wonder, sadness,
sensuality, and humor. Kosman’s second volume in English explores
Jewish texts —Bible, Talmud, midrash — alongside bodies,
physical desires, military experiences, even a refrigerator. Demons
and fantasy enter these poems; so do politics, so does God. These
are not religious poems in a conventionally liturgical,
“inspirational” sense; yet they point to the big questions that
religion asks: about love, hate, desire, violence, transgression,
disappointment.
