"Wolf Lamb Bomb" revives and reimagines the Book of Isaiah in an intimate conversation between woman and prophet. In the aftermath of September 11th, 2001, ongoing violence in the Middle East, and resurgent antisemitism, Kushner reflects on a biblical understanding of humanity and justice. These poems place the prophet Isaiah in the position of poet, crooner, and rival as they search for a guide in poetry and in life.
