Arts of Description
Psalm 115 is among the Bible’s major poems about cult statuary. Scholarship on these poems tends to focus on ontological issues, drawing on Mesopotamian rituals of enlivening and asking to what extent ancient Israelites and Judahites regarded images as alive, instantiating a deity’s presence, or contending with a monotheistic worldview. In such treatments, these poems are considered part of a continuous discourse of “anti-idol polemics,” in which…
Biblical Poetry and the Art of Close Reading
This volume explores the aesthetic dimensions of biblical poetry, offering close readings of poems across the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. Composed of essays by fifteen leading scholars of biblical poetry, it offers creative and insightful close readings of poems from across the canon of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament (Psalms, wisdom poetry, Song of Songs, prophecy, and poetry in biblical narrative). The essays build on recent advances in our unde…

The Cityscape
While scholars have tended to view the city in the Song of Songs negatively, this chapter traces a more ambivalent conceptualization of the city, as a space for conviviality and relationship, as well as a space of boundaries and violence. It draws on urban theory to explore these aspects in turn. Ultimately the Song imagines the city as dependent on and susceptible to its surrounding environment, gendered female according to the conventions of th…
The Map of the Body
The descriptive poems of the Song (sometimes called waṣfs ) are three long texts that punctuate and lend a sense of overall structure to the Song. In these poems, the lover’s body is described as a landscape. This chapter offers a reading of these three texts together as a conceit of process. It argues that the landscape concept relies on an intuition of perspective—of viewing—that orders the audience’s response to the poem’s subject. The descrip…
The Agrarian Landscape
One of the most pervasive landscapes of the Song of Songs is the farm, which appears repeatedly throughout the poetry. This chapter emphasizes the material grounding of the Song’s lyricism, which connects it directly to a context of ancient food production. It offers readings of several short segments of the Song, highlighting the imagery of vineyard and shepherding, and then describes how these material evocations blend into metaphors for the lo…
Conclusion
The chapter highlights the role of sensuality, care, and cultivation that persistently underscore the Song of Songs’ poetic landscapes.
Landscapes of the Song of Songs
Landscapes of the Song of Songs is a unique, interdisciplinary approach to the ancient poetry of the Song of Songs. It develops a theoretical concept of landscape to explore the Song’s intrinsic interest in the natural world, engaging with work from the fields of geography, landscape architecture, and literature. It emphasizes the made quality of both landscapes and poetry, which are art forms defined by human intervention and vision. In this way…
