“Peter Cole’s versions of Ibn Gabirol far surpass any previously available in English. “Kingdom’s Crown” is particularly magnificent and is a superb literary achievement in itself.”–Harold Bloom
“Peter Cole’s work is an entire revelation: a body of lyric and didactic verse so intense, so intelligent, and so vivid that it appears to identify a whole dimension of historical consciousness previously unavailable to us. His work represents the finest labor of poetic translation that I have seen in many years. I am wildly enthusiastic about this fine translation of Ibn Gabirol. It is a service to readers and to literature.”–Richard Howard, Poetry Editor, Paris Review, winner of the 1983 National Book Award for his translation of Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal
