Featured Poetry: Inheritance (Yerushe) by Peretz Markish

Peretz Markish and and translated by Mary Schulman

Visit Jewish Literary Review to read more about Peretz Markish.

About the book: This collection brings together in English the work of one of the most gifted and remarkable Jewish poets of the Soviet Union. Suffused with a consciousness of suffering, homelessness, and inevitably, the Holocaust, these modernist poems are meditative, elegiac, and prophetic in tone, and touch on the themes of loss, loneliness, displacement, war, and the yearning for renewal. Inextricably bound up with Markish’s Eastern European Jewish identity, they are also intensely personal, modern, and universal.
