Meir ben Elijah Launch

Meir ben Elijah is medieval England's only known Hebrew poet, whose extraordinary voice emerges from a time of brutal conflict and religious persecution. Now a new set of translations, performed at this launch by TS Eliot winner George Szirtes and the London Cantorial Choir, brings this 13th century poet back to life. With talks by translators Bente Elsworth and Ellman Crasnow, and introductions by editor Keiron Pim and WCN's Chris Gribble.
