Dramatically urgent from the get-go, many of Jacqueline Osherow's
poems approach inconsistencies and mysteries in Biblical texts.
From traditional poetic forms (sonnet, terza rima, villanelle,
sestina, acrostic, loose ottava rima) to an austere free verse,
Osherow mixes humor and seriousness while maintaining a
conversational tone. These poems deal with Jewish tradition and the
land of Israel in revelatory new ways. Jacqueline Osherow is the
author of four previous poetry collections. Her work has appeared
in The Norton Anthology of Jewish American Literature, The Penguin
Book of the Sonnet, Best American Poetry (1995 and 1998) and The
Extraordinary Tide: New Poetry by American Women, Awards include
fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the NEA. She is a
distinguished professor of English at the University of Utah.
