From Baal to Ashtoreth

These poems resound with vibrant, lyric echoes of the classical pagan world. Hedonistic, hilarious, lustful, and outrageous are some of the moods contained therein. Set against the harsh background of Israeli life, From Baal to Ashtoreth is a collection of love poems that chronicles the grief, anguish, conflict and joy of love. Raboff’s poems combine the rage of the Beats, wit of the classics and profundity of Biblical culture.
