Poets of the Bible: From Solomon's Song of Songs to John's Revelation by Willis

Description: Poets of the Bible by Willis Barnstone Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "The vividness and beauty of the language emerge in a fresh way... with evocative simplicity."—Robert Alter Publisher Description The worlds greatest poetry resides in the Bible, yet these major poets are traditionally rendered into prose. In this pioneering volume, Willis Barnstones translations restore the lyricism and power of the poets voices in both the New and the Old Testaments. In the Hebrew Bible, we hear Solomon rhapsodise in Song of Songs; David chant in Psalms; God and Job debate in grand rhetoric; and prophet-poet Isaiah plead for peace. Jesus speaks in wisdom verse in the Gospel, Paul is a philosopher of love and John of Patmos roars majestically in Revelation, the Bibles epic poem. This ground-breaking volume includes every major biblical poem from Genesis and Adam and Eve in the Garden to the last pages of Alpha and Omega in Paradise. Author Biography Willis Barnstone, professor, poet, and scholar, is the author of eighty volumes, including The Restored New Testament, The Gnostic Bible, The Poems of Jesus Christ, The Poetics of Translation, and Mexico in My Heart: New and Selected Poems. He lives in Oakland, California, and Paris.
