 t of Jewish Studies at 好色TV in the areas of Yiddish and Jewis
 h Literature in the modern period. Her recent focus has been on poetry pub
 lished by Twentieth-century Yiddish poets writing in Europe and North Amer

 up the invitation to put together a Bio critical edition of the works of R
 okhl Korn\, (1898-1982). This project has stimulated extensive research of
  texts produced by Yiddish and Jewish Canadian authors\, raised an interes
 t in examining womens' poetry\, highlighted attention to problems of trans

 to make Rokhl Korn better known.\n\nSebastian Schulman is the Executive Di
