Review(s):
“Since the anthology features more than 110 poets, it's impossible to mention all the poems that spoke to me. The best part of the work was being introduced to new and unfamiliar writers. ‘The Bloomsbury Anthology of Contemporary Jewish American Poetry' would make an excellent textbook for a literature class and belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in Jewish American poetry.” —Rabbi Rachel Esserman, The Reporter
