Haim Vitali Sadacca, who wrote and published poetry in Turkish in his younger years, now composes poetry only in Ladino, his beloved ancestral language. Now available for the first time in book form, this collection of poems reflect many elements of Sephardic culture and history, and flowing in rhyme and rhythm, they reveal Sadacca's skill as a poet and his mastery of the Ladino language. The unique collection is further distinguished with English translations, prepared especially for this collection, by the late David F. Altabe.
