Versus Negativa: Verses Circumcisa

Versus Negativa: Verses Circumcisa is primarily a volume of Christian devotional poems. Jesus is met here in contemplation intimate and impassioned, in a mood of awe, repentance, sometimes even in romantic language. The title poem is a long poem making the case to fellow Jews that the Jesus of Nazareth who died on the Cross is indeed the King of Israel. Asher Blake has two other books of poetry available, one lyric, and one in Japanese short form.
