PoelDs of a JeW'
BY
KARL SHAPIRO.
In his introduction to this volume,
which contains a number of new poems that have not pre–
viously appeared in book form, Mr. Shapiro writes; "The
poems here were written over
a
long period of time and
are extracted mostly from volumes which have nothing to
do with the present theme. But the undercurrent of all my
poems is the theme of the Jew, and for this reason I collect
these examples now as a separate presentation."
