Interspersedbetween sections of the poem and their accompanyingillustrations is short, thoughtful commentaryto help readers understand ancient references inthe text.Brilliantly regaining the erotic power, poeticbeauty, and authentic experience of the text, thisupdated and reenvisioned Song of Songs restoresfor modern audiences the same seductive spellthat has captivated readers for thousands of years.
