My angels are dark

They are slaves in the market

But I see how beautiful they are

Samuel Menashe is a master of the short poem. His concise works, alternately joyous and sorrowful, are religious in nature and speak of his Jewish heritage. Mr. Menashe is the author of The Niche Narrows, Fringe of Fire, No Jerusalem But This, and New and Selected Poems. In 2004, he received the Poetry Foundation's first Neglected Masters Award, designed to bring renewed critical attention to the work of an under-recognized, significant American poet.
