Rift
Barbara Helfgott Hyett is the author of: In Evidence: Poems of the Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps (The University of Pittsburgh Press: 1986; Booklist's Editor's Choice); Natural Law (Northland Press: 1989); The Double Reckoning of Christopher Columbus (University of Illinois Press: 1992); The Tracks We Leave: Poems on Endangered Wildlife (The University of Illinois Press: 1996); Rift (University of Arkansas Press: 2008).

Barbara Helfgott Hyett’s new collection considers, from close and afar, the elemental forces coming to bear on human character in our time. The title poem spills across the face of history—9/11, Hiroshima, the harrowing geological formation of earth, the sudden appearance of cave art, and ultimately, the uncertainty of God.
Author, professor, editor, and poet-in-the-schools, Barbara Helfgott Hyett has taught Literature and Writing at MIT and Boston University, where she won the Sproat Award for Excellence in Teaching English. She has also been Visiting Scholar at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and at Tufts. Her poems have appeared in dozens of magazines including The Nation, The New Republic, and The Partisan Review.
