Striking in its appeal to the senses, the Song of Songs-the Bible's only book of love poems-is remarkable for its lack of sexual stereotyping and its expression of mutuality in relationships between men and women. Marcia Falk's rich and lyrical translation, praised by poets and scholars alike, is paired here with the original Hebrew text.
"An exceptional poetic job. Marcia Falk has great power in her language." - Isaac Bashevis Singer; "Insightful and inspired... Falk's Song of Songs has a lasting life ahead of it in lovers' laps, whether those lovers are lovers of the literature of the Bible, or lovers of the clear sound of an American poet in intimate embrace with a tradition, or simply lovers." - Cynthia Ozick; "Marcia Falk's translation is a beautiful and sensual poem in its own right... one of the great classics of the art of translation." - Adrienne Rich"
