Bathsheba Transatlantic

By Sarah Wetzel and Sarah Wetzel

Poetry. Jewish Studies. Winner of the 2009 Philip Levine Prize for Poetry. "BATHSHEBA TRANSATLANTIC is a fascinating testimony from someone who's lived in modern Israel, the real physical dangers of that life, and, throughout, the awareness of an historical inheritance of travail and faith. The poems are written sparely, but with intensely compassionate emotions for Israelis and Palestinians both and the bitter skill of reflection. A compelling journey through a maze of mortal dangers, a global controversy brought down to the level of a daily life conducted in almost constant spiritual suffering, with the Minotaur of anguished moral conflict at the center. A necessary book for our time" Garrett Hongo."
