Small Bibles for Bad Times: Selected Poems and Prose of Liliane Atlan

Liliane Atlan is a French writer who has written plays, poetry, and prose. Her work is known for its manic and tragic nature, as well as its electrifying and poignant quality. Hoyt Rogers, a writer and translator, describes her poems as personal and public, resonant and authoritative, and weighted with centuries of wisdom. Rachel Hadas, another author, praises Atlan's ability to write with the beauty and brilliance of lyric, the bite of epigram, and the passion of an idealist fighting to survive in a brutal world. Alicia Ostriker, an author, describes her as a visionary writer who sought to find language to say the unsayable and integrate the shattering experience of Auschwitz into our conscience.
