Peter Cole discusses his new collection Hymns & Qualms with fellow poet Matthew Zapruder.
Praise for Peter Cole:
“A matchless translator and one of the handful of authentic poets in his own American generation. Hymns & Qualms is a majestic work, a chronicle of the imaginative life of a profoundly spiritual consciousness.” — Harold Bloom
"His vivid, sonorous English translations of secular and mystical Hebrew verse that was previously neglected or regarded as esoteric, parochial, or simply too difficult have remade the American Jewish canon." — Joshua Cohen, The Paris Review
