Book synopsis

Modern Hebrew poets address and sometimes subvert the biblical tradition through puns, playing with the Hebrew morphology, and intertextuality. Kartun-Blum employs historical, rhetorical, and feminist approaches to illuminate these techniques. Profane Scriptures illuminates the "noisy existence" of the modern Hebrew poet, always hearing echoes of remote narratives.
