In this study, I aim to analyze two poems by the North American poet Richard Fein
that he collected in his book entitled “At the Turkish bath.” In my analyses, I intend to
follow a cognitive poetic point of view, as the theory of “Cognitive Poetics” (1992) of
the Israeli linguist and cognitive scientist Reuven Tsur, which is based on cognitive
processes through which one solves the semantic ambiguities, such as metaphors, and
the cognitive obligations, which lead to the correct interpretation of the poetry.
Concisely, I am going to talk about the North American Jewish culture, discovering
the poet’s Yiddish and North American identities via the cognitive poetic analyses of
the two poems, entitled “My World of Yiddish” and “The Yiddish Poet Yankev
Glatshteyn Visits Me in the Coffee Shop.”
