Welcome to Litsy!

Not a fan that Litsy lists the editor first, not the author! Wasn't a fan of his defensive intro, either. Americans might recognize the final lines of this poem--by Emma Lazarus--as enshrined on the Statue of Liberty. I decided to dip my toe into #nationalpoetrymonth with her. I connected most to her Jewish works, about surviving antisemitism. She also translated medieval Hebrew poetry! Much of the rest of her collection was very pastoral.
