About this event

Nice Jewish Girls: Tikva Hecht, Mildred Faintly, and Joy Ladin in conversation

Just after Selichot and days before 5785, Tikva Hecht and Mildred Faintly, authors of recent Ben Yehuda Press releases, are in conversation with poet Joy Ladin, winner of the National Jewish Book Award. In the midst of the contemplative last Elul days, they will talk about the strange spiritual dimensions of writing and their take on the contribution of women to new horizons of holy text. Innovative, intellectual, irreverent, in translation – these poets are bound to stir up the canon. All will read short excerpts from their books as well.

This is another event of our series in which we feature Ben Yehuda Press poetry authors in conversation. Moderated by BYP poetry editor Julia Knobloch.

This event is being held in cooperation with Judaism Unbound. The Zoom room will be announced the day of the event.
