"Since 1970 when she published her first poem in Masa, the literary supplement of Davar, Maya Bejerano has been a strong and distinct presence in contemporary Hebrew poetry. Like many poets of her generation - the first generation after WWII - Bejerano was born in Israel to immigrant parents. To a large extent, the work of these poets gives expression to two states of consciousness: one of existential apprehension inherited from their immigrant parents, and one of a wild sense of freedom and liberation. With refreshing candor and a thoroughly modern and original voice, Maya Bejerano represents both sides of that new consciousness." "BOA Editions, Ltd. is pleased to present the first full-length book of Maya Bejerano's poetry to appear in the United States. The Hymns of Job and Other Poems offers readers an introduction to this versatile and original poet."--BOOK JACKET.
