Great photos - his eyes really are haunting. "A total refugee" seems spot on. I've taught Emiot's poetry in my last few rounds of Yiddish translation workshops, and I'm really looking forward to reading more about him here.
I was so moved when Karen sent these photos! And I'm so glad you're teaching Emiot. I recommend Karen's remembrance of Emiot too. The link is in the first Three Jewish Poets post.

Lovely post. It would be great to know who the other writers are in that photo.
I would love to know too! Our only source is Karen's memory.. Maybe Yiddishists can recognize other writers here....
