A clear, scholarly look at how Hebrew poetry is built, from rhythm to parallelism.

The Forms of Hebrew Poetry presents a careful study of Hebrew verse, focusing on rhythm, structure, and how parallel lines work together. Drawing on examples from Psalms, Isaiah, Lamentations, and other biblical books, this edition explains how poets organize lines, distichs, and caesuras to create meaning and mood. It’s written for readers who want a solid, accessible guide to the mechanics of Hebrew poetry without getting lost in jargon.

Defines the distich as the core rhythmical unit and explains different line lengths and stress patterns.
Explores how parallelism shapes rhythm, including cases where lines align or diverge in meaning.
Discusses the role of caesura, stanza divisions, and variations in meter across poems like kinah (elegy).
Offers a framework for reading Hebrew poetry that works alongside English translations.

Ideal for students, scholars, and anyone curious about how ancient poets crafted their memorable verses.
