Interfaith Reading and Discussion on Poetry Book So Many Things Are Yours
The Oxford Interfaith Forum organised eight events in honour of the WIHW. The sixth event focused the discussion on a Poetry Book "So Many Things Are Yours". 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. The event was attended by 60 people, and a recording has been viewed 80 times.
