Suggested Reading
I came back from the weekend with a notebook filled with suggestions for books and poems to read next. The one that leaps to mind first is Tevye the Dairyman and The Railroad Stories, by Shalom Aleichem. Dara mentioned it in her workshop when David shared his writing about the tattooed man next to him on the plane, and how it made him a part of the great literary tradition of writing the stories of the people met while traveling. I'm looking forward to reading it soon! What else was recommended to you during the weekend?

The translated from yiddish poems that Dara mentioned are something I want to find.
Otherwise I need to check my list.
According to my notes, the book Dara was talking about is American Yiddish Poetry, edited by Benjamin Harshav. Here is a link to it on Amazon.com
