Yetzirah Book Club
With a deep dive into four poetry collections; talks by authors, scholars, and translators; and opportunities for discussion, we invite you to join us in savoring and celebrating an expansive range of Jewish poetry.
Each season will feature:
- a book by a poet no longer living
- a contemporary poet
- a book of poetry in translation
- an international poet
