Nineveh by Zohar Atkins Joan Margarit the politics of children's sportsNineveh takes its modernist bearings from Edmond Jabs, Paul Celan and Yehudah Amichai; but also, merrily, from John Ashbery and Frank OHara. Zohar Atkinss poems offer humour and hospitality alongside deep learning and enigmatic, mystical theophany. The division between secular and religious is blurred, the two coexist in a generous exchange. The Bible is near at hand but rendered unfamiliar in the combination of anachronism with classical allusion.
