North Sea Poems (Pamphlet)
Heinrich Heine; Translated by Richard Crockatt

This chapbook presents not only a variety of moods and colours in
Heine's poems about the North Sea but also a loose narrative which
takes us from the shore, to scenes aboard ship, and the return to
harbour, ending with a pastoral scene in which the sea has been
truly left behind. Written in free verse rather than the rhymed
quatrains Heine usually used, these poems explore the intersections
between myth and everyday life in vivid scenes which mirror the
fluid motions and moods of the sea.

Hebrew Melodies (Hardcover)

One of the most important German poets of the nineteenth century,
Heinrich Heine was a convert without conviction. He chose
Christianity over Judaism as a means of securing an academic
career, but when his conversion failed to yield the hoped-for job
opportunities, he devoted himself to writing instead. This volume
presents a new translation of Hebrew Melodies, the third cycle of
poems in Heine's late masterwork, Romanzero, which many critics
have interpreted as Heine's return to his Jewish roots. As Elisheva
Carlebach explains in her foreword, Heine's "return to God" in his
final years was motivated not by faith but by a deep admiration of
the Jewish people-a sentiment that is clearly reflected in the
poems that make up Hebrew Melodies. This edition presents the
original German alongside new English translations by Stephen
Mitchell, widely known for his ability to make old classics
thrillingly new, and Jack Prelutsky, the author of more than fifty
poetry collections for children and adults. Mark Podwal's
illustrations beautifully portray the joyous, playful elements of
Jewish tradition and hint at what Carlebach calls the "menacing
edges of history's nightmares," echoing Heine's position as a poet
"caught between worlds."
