I Will Wake the Dawn: Illuminated Psalms
Lecture and booksigning event
I Will Wake the Dawn: Illuminated Psalms uses the intimate medium of the illuminated manuscript, wherein text and artwork merge within inches of the reader’s eye, and concise literary analysis to probe the subtle meanings of these poems. This work, published by the Jewish Publication Society continues to develop the concept of visual midrash.
