Book Description
Debora Vogel (1900-1942) wrote in Yiddish unlike anyone else. Yiddish, her fourth language after Polish, Hebrew, and German, became the central vehicle for her modernist experiments in poetry and prose. This ground-breaking collection presents the work of the key yet unrecognized figure in the constellation of European modernity.
About the Author
Review “Regrettably, Vogel’s writing has until now remained virtually unknown to English-language readers. With the invaluable new collection Blooming Spaces, Anastasiya Lyubas, a researcher at the University of Toronto, at last rescues Vogel from [Bruno] Schulz’s shadow, restores the obliterated lines of continuity between her and us, and brings Vogel the attention commensurate with the full profusion of her talents. In translations that beautifully convey the cadences of the original, Lyubas gives us for the first time not only generous selections from Vogel’s three books but also her essays―many with a sharp polemical bite―on photomontage and literary montage, on abstract art, on the painter Marc Chagall (whom she knew personally), on racism and antisemitism (‘Exoticized People’), on the role of intellectuals, and on the history of secular Yiddish writing in Galicia.”―Benjamin Balint, Jewish Review of Books Review “As a poet and an intellectual, Debora Vogel worked at the limits of language. She insisted, as Lyubas writes, that ‘everything is art, and everything matters.’ This volume demonstrates how much Vogel's own work matters for the study of Modernism, art history, poetics, and philosophy. Through Lyubas's deep research and deft translations, Vogel’s full voice now reaches into English―vivid, iridescent, melancholy, and thrilling.”―Anna Elena Torres, Assistant Professor, Comparative Literature, University of Chicago
