The Art Of Biblical Poetry by Robert Alter
A close-reading study that examines the formal features, rhythms, and rhetorical devices of Hebrew biblical poetry and shows how its artful language shapes meaning and theological effect; it analyzes parallelism, diction, syntax, imagery, and narrative context across psalms, prophetic and narrative passages, and argues that attention to literary form deepens translation and interpretation of the biblical text.
