TSVISHNSHAFT - COMING SOON!

We are very happy to present "Tsvishnshaft" (Betweenness), a quiet, deeply personal collection of Yiddish poems by Swedish writer Tina Hildesjö Persson. A beautiful book written from the space in between. Between languages and homelands, between identities and faiths, between grief and tenderness, between war and the stubborn hope for peace. This book captures the feeling of belonging nowhere fully, yet feeling everything intensely. These poems move effortlessly from raw political ache to intimate moments of love, motherhood, desire, and exhaustion. Some are playful or ironic, while others sit with profound sorrow, quiet wonder, and the small daily rituals that keep a soul afloat. Simply a must-have for all lovers of contemporary Yiddish poetry.

Tsvishnshaft will be out this fall!

We are very proud to present yet another modern Yiddish children's book with Arun Schaechter Viswanath's translation of Tina Oziewicz's "Co robią uczucia" (English title: "What Feelings Do When No One's Looking").

"Vos tuen dort di gefiln?" is a stunning, charming, and brilliantly inventive picture book about the feelings that live inside us, sure to provoke many fascinating conversations with any child. This gentle, imaginative picture book brings feelings to life as a whimsical troupe of furry creatures in a quiet, mischievous dreamworld. Each page offers a short, poetic glimpse into what emotions do when they're on their own. Curiosity perches high on a chimney, sympathy carefully helps snails cross the sidewalk, fear pirouettes to blend in with the wallflowers and pleasure relaxes in a cozy chair with a cup of tea.

YIDISHLAND #30 – OUT NOW!

Get your copy @ https://olnianskybooks.etsy.com!

This issue opens with an article by the youngest member of our editorial board, David Omar Cohen, in which he discusses the need to preserve the good level of Yiddish literary style under current conditions, when a growing portion of Yiddish literary figures are people who have not acquired the language in their childhood. A striking example of their arrival in our literature is the first book of poems by Katerina Kuznetsova, a volume of critique of which appears in this issue. Contemporary Yiddish poetry is represented by new poems by Hillel Kazovsky, Jake Schneider, Boris Karloff, Velvl Chernin and David Omar Cohen. In addition, our readers will find poems by the great Ukrainian poet Vasyl Stus (1938–1985) and by contemporary Hebrew poetess Rivka Miriam translated into Yiddish. We are publishing a chapter from the memoirs of Shmuel Atzmon. This book, largely devoted to Yiddish theater, was published in Hebrew. From now on, at least one chapter of it will also be available in the author׳s native language. In the field of belles-lettres we offer you a new chapter from the novel ״Tik-Tok״ by Michael Felzenbaum, a story by Velvl Chernin and the completion of the publication of the stories of Gedaliah Frenkel (1899–1943) prepared by David Omar Cohen. Literary scholar Yael Levy publishes in this issue an article on the Yiddish writer Rosa Palatnik, which was presented as a referat at the 19th Congress of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. Binyamin Hunyadi deals in his review with the play ״Sidi Tal״. It was performed partially in Yiddish by the German Theater of the Romanian city of Timișoara. Our regular sections continue: ״Manifestos of the Jewish Avant-Garde״, ״New Books״, ״A New Song״, ״For Children and Grandchildren״ (you will find in it poems by Michael Layvand) and ״Materials for a Lexicon of Yiddish Literature in the 21st Century״.

Yidishland is a printed literary journal with prose, poetry and literary criticism from the world’s leading Yiddish writers as well as talented newcomers. Each issue contains ~100 pages in A4 format.

"FUN NIT DERZOGTN - COMING SOON!

We have a unique and ambitious book coming in the summer. In this remarkable work of art, Velvl Chernin, one of today’s leading Yiddish poets, revives the voices of the great Yiddish classics.

"Fun nit derzogtn" contains five crowns of sonnets and 75 interconnected sonnets in total. Each crown is dedicated to a different group of classic Yiddish poets, from Bialik, Glatstein, Sutzkever, and Grade to Molodowsky, Vogel, Korn, and many others.

Chernin follows the classical sonnet-crown form where the last line of one sonnet opens the next, while elegantly echoing each poet’s unique voice, rhythm, and spirit. He mixes Italian, French, Shakespearean, and Hebrew sonnet styles and varies the structure to suit every poet. The result is not a monument, but a vibrant, moving revitalisation of Yiddish poetry. A powerful act of literary love and a rare treasure for anyone who cherishes contemporary and classic Yiddish poetry.
