In 1290, the Jews were banished from England. In 1655-1656, Jews once more became a part of British society, returning to the London of Oliver Cromwell, Pepys and Henry Purcell. To commemorate the 350th anniversary of this return, Michelene Wandor has written a sensuous dramatic narrative poem evoking seventeenth-century London, and telling the story of the two men who made this return possible: Oliver Cromwell and Menasseh ben Israel. "Music of the Prophets" is the third in a sequence of long poems celebrating the presence of the Jews in England. The text seduces and challenges with a delicacy and flow, combining open-form experiment with a musical delight in counterpoint, irony and wit.

"CLOSE YOUR EYES, VISIONS is the material results of two experiments conducted by the poet Michael Ruby in the realm of poetic transcription, working with vision and what one sees when we close our eyes, coupled with both past and future life experience. It arose from an experience Ruby had twenty years ago, or as he writes, "I chose to remember I lay on the carpet with my eyes closed and saw a blue square, three green squares and a red circle." He goes on to describe the ramifications of that event: "This brief vision could be a Suprematist painting by Malevich from Moscow in the 1910s. It's like paintings by some of my favorite artists: Kupka, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Reinhardt, Newman, Rothko. It's part of a world of ever-changing colors and shapes, an abstract movie playing continuously in our brains just below the surface of consciousness, almost never perceived. Surely, these visions are a source of abstract visual art, just as dreams are a source of fiction and inner voices are a source of poetic lines.""--
