The Song of Songs by Ariel Bloch

"The Song of Songs", often referred to as the "Song of Solomon", is one of the greatest love poems of all time. In their lyrical translation, Ariel Bloch and Chana Bloch restore the sensuousness of the original language and strip away the veils of mistranslating that have obscured the power and meaning of the poem. Presented "en face", this translation is scrupulously faithful to the Hebrew text.
Ariel Bloch is Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Chana Bloch is a poet, translator, scholar, and literary critic. She is Professor of English and Director of the creative writing program at Mills College.
