Jam & Jerusalem

Yvonne Green’s latest collection extends the urgent and compelling territory of her earlier, award-winning books. Politically engaged, many of the poems consider the human cost of war, while others deal equally intensely with ideas and with both domestic city landscapes. A final section furthers the translations she began in 2011 with her PBS Recommended title, After Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin.

A poet of extraordinary breadth and depth – Molly Peacock, President emerita of the Poetry Society of America
