About the Web Site Editor
Henry Rasof (admin@medievalhebrewpoetry.org), the site's creator and editor, has worked in book publishing for many years as an acquisitions editor of adult-trade, young-adult, text, and reference books for Arco Publishing, Houghton Mifflin, Franklin Watts, ABC-CLIO, Oryx Press, A.R.E. Publishing, Facts on File, ME Sharpe, and other companies. He has a BA in music, an MFA in creative writing, and an MA in Jewish studies.
He first “discovered” medieval Hebrew poetry several years ago and since then has been bitten by the bug. This web site was created as a project for his MA degree, and eventually he hopes to expand the site beyond the initial effort.
He also has been a poet for many years
and has published in the Partisan Review,
Kansas Quarterly, Black Box, Wisconsin Review, and other literary magazines and anthologies. His book of prose poems, Chance Music, is available as a .pdf file.
