This book affords English-speaking readers their first opportunity
to read and enjoy the poetry of Zina Weinshall. Zina was born in
Russia in 1900 and moved to Israel in 1920. Early on, she wrote her
poetry in Russian, her mother tongue; later, after she had mastered
the Hebrew language, she wrote her poems in Hebrew, the language of
her adopted land. Through this translation of Zina's poetry into
English, poems from both groups are now accessible to western
readers. Seventy-eight of the poems in this book represent three
separate collections of poems which Zina had printed as small books
between 1929 and 1944 for distribution to family and friends. The
poems have been left in their sequence as organized by Zina herself
within each of the collections. Also included in this book is a
poem Zina wrote after losing her son in war in 1948. In addition to
Zina's poetry, readers will find a large collection of family
photographs assembled by the editor, Zina's daughter, Judith
Weinshall Liberman, and the editor's comments about each
photograph, both captivating and enlightening. The editor's preface
to the book, as well as her essays about the life and writings of
Zina Weinshall, round out the picture, and help the reader gain
insight into a unique poet.
