This groundbreaking collection presents for the first time in
English a substantial body of poetry that emerges directly from the
sublime and often startling world of Jewish mysticism. Taking up
Gershom Scholem's call to plumb the "tremendous poetic potential"
concealed in the Kabbalistic tradition, Peter Cole provides
dazzling renderings of work composed on three continents over a
period of some fifteen hundred years. In addition to the
translations and the texts in their original languages, Cole
supplies a lively and insightful introduction, along with
accessible commentaries to the poems. Aminadav Dykman adds an
elegant afterword that places the work in the context of world
literature. As a whole, the collection brings readers into the
fascinating force field of Kabbalistic verse, where the building
blocks of both language and existence itself are unveiled. Excerpts
from The Poetry of Kabbalah have been featured in the Paris Review,
Poetry, and Conjunctions. "Studded with insight, and written with
great verve, this book will become a classic."-Lawrence Fine,
author of Physician of the Soul, Healer of the Cosmos
