@nberlat But we shouldn't mistake this rage for self-loathing. Berlatsky is clearly full of affection & good humor for the traditions in which he was raised -- see his wordplay meditation on the nature of the law. He dreams of other ways out of our conditions but bombs & ethnic cleansing.

@nberlat But classical fascism isn't his only target. As a Jewish man, Berlatsky is filled with rage at the atrocities now being committed in his name. This bursts forth in the explosively titled "Shoah Bonus Round," a denunciation worthy of a prophet of the misuses of collective memory.

@nberlat The poems are a mix of satire, elegy, & history. Few worthy targets escape their bite. In the modernist composer Anton Weber, who had fascist sympathies but was banned by the Nazis, Berlatsky finds a sharp analogy to our own artists-gone-chud. Ironies abound at each line break.

What does Jewish identity mean to Jews -- along with the Holocaust, fascism, & modernism -- in light of the ascent of authoritarianism & the genocide in Gaza?. @nberlat has brought the full force of his mordant, piercing poetry to bear on the matter.
