Make Unparalleled Poetry Open Access!

The driving questions of Unparalleled Poetry are, what makes a line a line and a poem a poem, and what strategies do we need in order to read (= hear!) these poems according to their conventions? By highlighting the literary structures and potential effects of biblical Hebrew poetry, I seek to help scholars, translators, and readers across traditions better understand the text and its meaning—and its potential to artistically impact and shape its audiences.

Academic monographs are inaccessible to many scholars globally due to cost. You can help make this book open access (free for download) for readers everywhere. Thanks to a generous gift, we are 40% of the way there. If 46 people donate the cost of one book ($120), Unparalleled Poetry will become available to everyone.

If you prefer your donation to be tax-deductible, you can give to Mesa Global's Open Access Fund: https://www.mesaglobal.co/projects/68046

Both projects have the same initial goal: Making this book open access. We'll keep track of fundraising for both projects and disable this fundraiser when our goal is reached.
