Synopsis

<p>Raised in a Ladino-speaking family of Bulgarian Jewish immigrants, Pinhas-<br>Cohen fuses the ancient Sephardic chant of her childhood with the contemporary<br>rhythm of Israeli life. This singular talent for bridging the ancient and the<br>modern sets her apart from most other Hebrew poets of her generation. Secular<br>in style and spirit, yet rooted in the life cycle of religious Judaism, Pinhas-<br>Cohen’s poems portray everyday life in modern Israel through a sacred yet<br>personal language. Awarded the coveted Prime Minister’s Prize for her poetry,<br>Pinhas-Cohen is a poet whose verse in English translation is long overdue. This<br>bilingual collection offers readers a careful selection of poems from each of her<br>seven published volumes. Hart-Green has worked closely with the poet herself<br>on these translations, several of which have appeared in journals such as the<br>Jewish Quarterly and the Toronto Journal of Jewish Thought. Her lively translations<br>display the dazzling breadth and depth of Pinhas-Cohen’s oeuvre, making<br>Bridging the Divide not only the first but the definitive English-language edition<br>of this vital Hebrew poet’s work.</p>
