Hebrew poetry rewriting job
Noted literary scholar and critic Robert Alter delivers the closing keynote address, entitled "Hebrew Poetry Rewriting Job", of the "Symposium on Modern Hebrew and Israeli Literature", sponsored by the Michigan State University Jewish Studies Program and the MSU Libraries. Alter says that the Hebrew Bible is the foundation for all subsequent Hebrew literature and offers an analysis of the poetry of Nathan Zach and Zelda Schneersohn Mishkovsky, known simply as "Zelda". Alter reads from Zach's poems and comments on syntax, rhythm, symbolism and metaphor and then moves to the poetry of Zelda and similarly comments on her use of biblical language. A question and answer session follows. The event is convened by MSU Librarian Deborah Margolis. MSU Professor Ken Waltzer acknowledges the coordinators of the symposium and MSU Professor Marc Bernstein introduces Alter. Held at the MSU Main Library. Part of the MSU Libraries' Colloquia Series.
