Although Anne (Chana) Kleiman-who died in 2011 at the age of
101-was the first American-born Jewish woman to publish poems in
Hebrew, and Annabelle (Chana) Farmelant-who is still living and
occasionally publishing-wrote a substantial body of Hebrew verse
from the 1940s to the 1960s, their work is virtually unknown today,
even to those familiar with Hebrew literature in America. In
Women's Hebrew Poetry on American Shores: Poems by Anne Kleiman and
Annabelle Farmelant, editor Shachar Pinsker recovers the singular
voices of these women, introducing their captivating and
wide-ranging poetry and placing it in its historical, literary, and
cultural contexts. Women's Hebrew Poetry on American Shores
presents a bilingual edition of Kleiman and Farmelant's work in a
large range of themes, moods, and styles, translated into English
for the first time by Yosefa Raz and Adriana X. Jacobs. It includes
Kleiman's poems that were collected and published in a 1947 U.S.
volume and a selection from two of Farmelant's poetry books,
published in Jerusalem in 1960 and 1961. The translators have
furnished the poems with copious notes, illuminating linguistic and
cultural sources of the poetry and making it more accessible to
contemporary readers. Pinsker introduces the volume with a
background on the poets' lives and work and a look at the state of
Hebrew literature in the first half of the twentieth century. The
volume also includes an unpublished essay by Anne Kleiman,
addressing Hebrew poet Anda Pinkerfeld and her poetic work, which
sheds an important light on the dialogue between women's Hebrew
poetry written in American and in Palestine during the same period.
Readers and scholars of Jewish, American, and Hebrew literature and
cultural history, as well as those interested in poetry, gender,
and women's studies will enjoy this unique bilingual edition.
