*Journal for the Study of the Old Testament*
David R. Slavitt is an experienced translator of Hebrew poetry ...
He is not concerned to convey the "meaning" of these texts ... but
to express something of the emotional and aesthetic effect these
mysterious writings have made on him as poetry ... The result is a
clear, lively and often beautiful composition, enjoyable to
read.
*J. R. Porter, TLS*
