This column usually contains a short text giving some context to the poem. Above you will find a picture
that may enrich, complicate, sully, or do nothing to your understanding of the poem. You may click it to enlarge it.
Since this is an About Page, we will use the context column to talk about our hopes and aspirations.
We hope this
project grows tremendously. We don't think it possible without help from many people: people who type up poems, people who translate poems,
people who write mini bios and little context blurbs, people who record readings, people who select good images, people who suggest new ideas, and people who help implement those ideas.
It is certainly not possible without people who simply use this website and spread the word.
If you do feel motivated to actively contribute or want to just send us a note, do email us

This column usually contains a little biography of the poet. Above you will usually find a picture of the poet, which can be enlarged by clicking it.
Since this is an About Page, we will use the biography column to explain clearly what this site offers:
You may use this site as an access point to Yiddish poetry and you may browse, read and use its analytical tools at your pleasure.
You may also help us improve this site by contributing in countless ways to the text, the code, and the multi-media. Please contact us for more details and fork our git repository.
