Produktbeschreibung
"The New Babel: Toward a Poetics of the Mid-East Crises evokes and investigates -- from a Jewish-American perspective and in the forms of poetry, essays, and interviews -- the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, America's involvement as both perpetrator and victim of events in the Middle East and Afghanistan, and the multiple ways that poetics can respond to political imperatives. In these creative, analytical, and conversational moments, Leonard Schwartz rethinks the battle lines of the contemporary Middle East and calls on the power of language, endlessly fluid, but also the source of confusion. The New Babel attempts both to embrace and to counter this confusion"--Page 2 cover.
