About the Book

Poetry. Jewish Studies. In his Foreword to this astonishing book, Henry Weinfield calls the prophet Elijah 'one of the most daemonic and uncanny figures in literature.' And with these poems, Weinfield himself becomes one of the most daemonic and uncanny poets writing today. The high formality and decorum of his verse produce an unparalleled lucidity and sublime resonance. In 'The Book of Elijah, ' modern English poetry, mediated by the inescapable language of the King James Bible, is now the vehicle for an epic tale drawn from the archaic Jewish tradition. But this is hardly an exercise in antiquarianism. Look at Weinfield's 'Praise and Lamentation': in a fluid, conversational style, he has written one of the most powerful and intelligent political poems in recent memory. This is a book to read at Passover--and all year long.--Norman Finkelstein
