The Oxford Interfaith Forum organised a Poetry reading and discussion. So Many Things Are Yours is Professor Admiel Kosman’s second volume of poetry translated in English. It explores Jewish texts —Bible, Talmud, midrash — alongside bodies, physical desires, military experiences, even a refrigerator. Demons and fantasy enter these poems; so do politics, so does God. These are not religious poems in a conventionally liturgical, “inspirational” sense; yet they point to the big questions that religion asks: about love, hate, desire, violence, transgression, and disappointment.
