Description
Peter Cole's latest collection brings together fragments from diverse sources to create a unique and powerful body of work. Archaeological finds in an ancient Egyptian synagogue serve as a starting point for poems that explore the intersection of politics, culture, and literature. Cole's translations from Hebrew and Arabic have earned him widespread acclaim, but here he turns his attention to translating the world itself. The result is a collection that is both deeply personal and universally relevant. Through his characteristic wit and wisdom, Cole offers a vision of connectedness that renders these poems at once fresh and abiding.
