Since we’re in Jewish Book Month, it feels right to share another great poem from The Dream of the Poem: Hebrew Poetry from Muslim and Christian Spain, 950-1492 by Peter Cole (translator). This one is by Meshullam DePiera, who was writing in the thirteenth century.
I love the intensity here–it makes me feel both cautious and powerful. Words matter, people.
Yes, sure they do. Writers and bloggers carry a big responsibility on their shoulders, frail or otherwise!
Well said!
