A collection centered in myth, A Mask for Janus is the 49th volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets While Merwin's poetry as a whole is grounded in the poetic forms of many eras and societies, this first collection is inspired by classical models. Writing in American Poetry Review, Vernon Young traces the poems to "Biblical tales, Classical myth, love songs from the Age of Chivalry, Renaissance retellings; they comprise carols, roundels, odes, ballads, sestinas, and they contrive golden equivalents of emblematic models: the masque, the Zodiac, the Dance of Death."

Individual fables by Yiddish poet and writer Shtaynbarg (1880-1932) have appeared in various English anthologies, and there is a thriving critique of his work in Yiddish, but Leviant (Hebrew and Yiddish, Rutgers U.) offers the first collection in English devoted to his work, with the Yiddish on facing pages. The fables, one to three pages long, elevate interactions between mundane objects, animals, or people into spiritual encounters. They draw on the ancient tradition of Hebrew fables.
