Reviews of this Book

‘Michael Hulse is an award-winning poet. In ‘Empires and Holy Lands’, his German literary interests lead his to consider the disjuncture between European high culture and the barbarism of the Shoah. “On Location” has the Shoah continuing to resonate in a post-modern present through movies... There are witty poems here – Michelangelo’s statue of Moses seen as “a patriarchal bully-boy./ Mister universal Law”... Clearly there is room for the demonic in this sophisticated, highly enjoyable collection.’ —Peter Lawson, Jewish Chronicle – The Weekly Review
