Winner of the 2007 Yiddish Literature and Translation from Yiddish presented by the Helen and Stan Vine Annual Canadian Jewish Book Awards 2007 Runner Up of the National Jewish Book Award in Poetry  Born Rosa Lebensboym in Belarus  Anna Margolin (18871952) settled permanently in America in 1913. A brilliant yet largely forgotten poet  her reputation rests on her volume of poetry published in Yiddish in 1929 in New York City. Although written in the 1920s  Margolins poetry is remarkably fresh and contemporary  dealing with themes of anxiety  loneliness  sexual tensions  and the search for intellectual and spiritual identity  all of which were clearly reflected in her own life choices. Sensitively and beautifully translated here  the poems appear both in the original Yiddish and in English translation.  Shirley Kumoves fascinating critical-biographical introduction highlights Margolins tempestuous and unconventional life. An exceptionally beautiful and gifted woman  Margolin adopted a bohemian and an eccentric lifestyle  and threw herself into both intellectual pursuits and romantic attachments beyond her two marriages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960394932277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0791465802","price":38.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780791465806.jpg?v=1788285981","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/drunk-from-the-bitter-truth-the-poems-of-anna-margolin-women-writers-in-translation-9780791465806","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
