Readings from Peter Cole, Poet and Translator
The Dream of the Poem: Hebrew Poetry from Muslim and Christian Spain, 950- 149.

Peter Cole has published three collections of poetry, Rift (Station Hill), Hymns & Qualms (Sheep Meadow Press), and What Is Doubled: Poems 1981- 1989, recently published by Shearsman Books in the UK. He has worked intensively on Hebrew literature, with special emphasis on medieval Hebrew poetry. Cole's prize-winning translations of the Hebrew Golden Age poets have helped to recreate for contemporary American readers the multifaceted world of medieval Spain, in which Jewish artistic and intellectual communities flourished under Islamic rule. His new anthology, The Dream of the Poem, traces the arc of the entire period and reveals this remarkable poetic world in all of its richness, humor, grace, gravity, and wisdom. Cole has received numerous awards for his work, including fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the 1998 Modern Language Association Translation Award. Cole is also the founder and co-editor of Ibis Editions, a small press devoted to the publication of Levant-related literature.

We have recently cleared out some of the duplicates and older, tired volumes, leaving the shelves easier to navigate. And the light bulbs have all been replaced!
