The
inspiration and foundation for my work on the Psalms comes from J.P.
Fokkelman's, The Psalms in Form. This work confronts the reader with the
poetical nature of the Psalms and their parallelism. It is beautiful, brilliant and simple. Below is a
select bibliography of works I am especially indebted to in my study of the
Psalms. Robert Alter, The Art of Biblical
Poetry, Basic Books, 1985. ________. The Art of Biblical
Narrative. NY: Basic Books,1981. Adele Berlin, The Dynamics of Biblical
Parallelism (Indiana Studies in Biblical Literature), Indiana University
