Description
Winner of the The 2021 Chicago Review of Books Award in Poetry Kushner channels the prophet Isaiah, ‘lone / crooner in the wilderness,’ and recasts his ‘raving mad’ vision for a post-9/11 age of terrorism and geopolitical conflict.” ― The New York Times Book Review ”Wolf Lamb Bomb turns and turns Isaiah’s verse, and discovers the ways in which it speaks to our contemporary struggles, but perhaps the most striking poetry comes when Kushner faces the biblical and speaks back.” ―The Jewish Book Council ”Wolf Lamb Bomb feels like a chevruta session with an especially humane and close reader…deeply affecting…Kushner’s fluency with her source text is something to behold.” ―The Jewish Exponent Aviya Kushner’s debut poetry collection, Wolf Lamb Bomb , revives and reimagines the Book of Isaiah in an intimate conversation between woman and prophet. In the aftermath of September 11th, ongoing violence in the Middle East, and resurgent antisemitism, Kushner reflects on a Biblical understanding of humanity and justice. Wolf Lamb Bomb wonders equally about our relationship with an inherited past and our desire to understand the precarious present. These poems place the prophet Isaiah in the position of poet, crooner, and rival as they search for a guide in poetry and in life. —- ISBN: 9781949039177
