David Cooper

David Cooper is a poet, literary translator, and book critic. His translation of Israeli poet Rachel Eshed's book Little Promises is published in a bilingual edition by Mayapple Press, and his translation of one of the poems in Little Promises was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Novelist Tsipi Keller says , "It is hard to speak of Rachel Eshed's poetry without mentioning 'fire': her poems virtually burn on the page, and David Cooper's renditions not only do justice to the the original but magnify its richness."
