Page vii For Jim Kates

Page ix It is said that King David had an extraordinary harp. Before he went to bed, he hung this precious instrument by a window near his head. During the night, the north wind blew on the strings and created wondrous music. That harp music would cause King David to arise and begin to compose. According to legend, he wrote the Psalms while in a trance-like state. The poetry flowed freely from him. It is also said that King David had the ability to see into the past and the future. If that is so, King David's Psalm 137, "By the Rivers of Babylon," is the first literary work of the exile to respond to life in the Diaspora. JEWISH LATIN AMERICANWRITERS, INSPIRED INTERPRETERS OF THE DIASPORA, HAVE HEARD KING DAVID'S HARP.
