The poet and Talmud scholar examines Jewish texts, sexuality, and human vulnerability in poems that brim with wonder, sadness, sensuality, and humor. Kosman's second volume in English explores Jewish texts -Bible, Talmud, midrash - alongside bodies, physical desires, military experiences, even a refrigerator. Demons and fantasy enter these poems, so do politics, so does God. These are not religious poems in a conventionally liturgical, "inspirational" sense, yet they point to the big questions that religion asks: about love, hate, desire, violence, transgression, disappointment.
