PEARLS OF YIDDISH POETRY

The Mloteks did it again!   Besides their wonderful song books, they also published an equally wonderful collection of Yiddish poetry. 

I just got a copy of this 2010 volume:  Pearls of Yiddish Poetry, by Joseph and Chana Mlotek, Edited by Mark Mlotek and translated by Barnett Zumoff.   

Its 500 pages feature poems by 38 beloved Yiddish poets, with a brief introduction (in English) for each of the poets.  

The poems themselves are printed in Yiddish letters along with English translations.  These translations are not word for word, but seem to capture the spirit of the poems. 

Published in 2010 by Ktav Publishing house, this book may be hard to find.  I'm not even sure if it is still in print! 

Hopefully you can find this wonderful collection on Amazon and elsewhere from various vendors in various conditions.    

Entering "Pearls of Yiddish Poetry" on Amazon, I got a "like new" copy in great condition from an Amazon vendor for about $15 -- but the inventory keeps changing.
