Modern Poems on the Bible is a collection of imaginative and
engaging contemporary responses to the Bible. Guided by the classic
rabbinic genre of midrash conceived 1,500 years ago, Curzon chooses
poems from Jewish and non-Jewish writers alike and places them
beside the biblical passages that were their inspiration. Among the
more than 170 poems in this collection are those by some of the
great modern poets, including Yeats, Rilke, Auden and Amichai.
There are also poems by master prose writers: Primo Levi, Jorge
Luis Borges, and D.H. Lawrence, to name a few.
