    You feel in conversation with someone wise and passionate, someone you can trust.”-Poetry Flash “Kaufman’s poems flourish in the spaces between what is familiar and unfamiliar, between life in Israel and life in the U.S., and in those moments when the differences between Palestinians and Jews, mothers and daughters, history and the immediate moment play themselves out.”-American Book Review “Kaufman is adept at revealing the human face behind politics, carefully accumulating familiar details to make a large portrait.”-Publishers Weekly Shirley Kaufman is the author of seven books of poetry and several translations from the Hebrew.

    James Reston, Jr
  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Doubleday, 2001
  • Description

    Richard the Lionheart, commonly depicted as the romantic personification of chivalry, here emerges in his full complexity and contradictions as Reston examines the dark side of Richard’s role as the leader of the blood-soaked Crusades and breaks new ground by openly discussing Richard’s homosexuality. Reston’s compelling portrait of Saladin brings to life the wise, highly cultured leader who realized an enduring Arab dream by uniting Egypt and Syria and whose conquest of Jerusalem not only sparked the Third Crusade but ignited the first jihad and turned Saladin into a hero of epic proportions.

    Meron Benvenisti ; translated by Maxine Kaufman Nunn
  • Publication Details

    Book, University of California Press, 1996
  • Description

    Jerusalem is more than a holy city built of stone. But unlike recent politically motivated histories written to justify the claims of Jews and Arabs now living in Jerusalem, Benvenisti has no such agenda. A native son of Jerusalem, Benvenisti knows the city well, and his integrated history makes clear that all of Jerusalem’s citizens have enriched the Holy City in the past.
