Anna Margolin

    Splitter von Licht und Nacht
    During Sleepless Nights and Other Stories
    Drunk from the Bitter Truth: The Poems of Anna Margolin
    • 2022

      Before finding success as a poet, Anna Margolin (real name: Roza Lebensboym) also experimented with prose. Margolin's poetry is dark, sensual and transgressive and these characteristics can also be found in her stories which-because they were never collected in book form and were published under a variety of pseudonyms-remained relatively unknown even to readers of Yiddish. Gathered here and translated for the first time in English are four of these early stories.

      The collection features the works of Anna Margolin, a prominent Yiddish poet, showcasing her poetry in both the original Yiddish and English translations. Her verses reflect the complexities of identity, culture, and the immigrant experience, offering a unique perspective on life in the early 20th century. Margolin's lyrical style and emotional depth invite readers to explore themes of love, loss, and resilience, making her work a significant contribution to both Yiddish literature and the broader literary landscape.
