Akers and Rosenberg in one sense face a similar challenge. They are both trying to describe something which ultimately we cannot share; something indescribable. Rosenberg is trying to express the horror of war to those who haven't experienced it. While some write or paint, many resort to silence; Rosenberg tries with poetry.

Akers is seeking to enlighten us about an introspective, lowly, gloomy, inaccessible, brilliant Jewish poet who was killed in the depths of his misery, yet at the height of his powers.

Some use the lecture hall; others use biography; Akers' medium is historical fiction. Notwithstanding the impossibility of their tasks, all succeed in advancing our understanding and we are the richer for their efforts.
