Singing in a Strange Land: A Jewish American Poetics (Verbal Art: Studies in Poetics)

"Taking a broad view, this book asks: How does being Jewish-in-America affect poetic production? And how does poetry help shape Jewish American identity? Beginning with a historical inquiry into the status of Jewish poetry as a marginalized kind of writing, and moving on to detailed analyses of poets, this book helps us think about the ways in which displacement, exile, mourning, gender, and prayer contribute to the shaping of the Jewish American imagination and its poetic production."--BOOK JACKET.
