From the publisher
From the jacket flap
Kiss me, make me drunk with your kisses!
Your sweet loving is better than wine.
So begins the Song of Songs, often referred to as the Song of Solomon, one of the greatest love poems of all time. Set in a fragrant world of fertility and abundance, the Song celebrates the sexual awakening of a young woman and her lover, and the intoxicating experience of falling in love. It is no wonder that this book of the Old Testament, composed over two thousand years ago, continues to be a source of inspiration to poets and lovers.
In their lyrical new translation, Ariel Bloch and Chana Bloch -- he a distinguished professor of Semitics, she an award-winning poet -- restore the sensuousness of the original in language that is rich, joyous, and passionate. Scrupulously faithful to the Hebrew text, the Blochs strip away the veils of mistranslation that have obscured the power and meaning of the poem.
