With Teeth in the Earth: Selected Poems of Malka Heifetz Tussman

Poetry. Jewish Studies. Translated from the Yiddish, Edited, and Introduced by Marcia Falk. WITH TEETH IN THE EARTH is the first full-length collection in English of the poetry of acclaimed Yiddish-American poet Malka Heifetz Tussman. Selected from her six books of verse and from a last unpublished manuscript, these poems reflect her love of nature, her deep enjoyment of the physical and sensual world, and her experience of spirituality. "[Tussman's] elegant, deft lyrics subvert the central myth of women's lives: the belief that happiness and fulfillment come from devotion to others.... Marcia Falk has gracefully and intelligently captured Tussman's subtle ironic tone"Miriam Levine, American Book Review.
