Inheritance (Yerushe) by Peretz Markish New Year Baigell’s incisive observations are indispensableBilingual Yiddish & English text Translated by Mary Schulman This collection brings together in English the work of Peretz Markish, 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.
