Jacob Glatstein (Yankev Glatshteyn; Jacob Glatshteyn)(20 August 1896 Lublin, Poland - 19 November 1971 New York City) was a poet and literary critic who wrote in Yiddish. Although his family identified with the Jewish Enlightenment movement, he received a traditional education until the age of 16 and an introduction to modern Yiddish literature. In 1914, due to increasing anti-Semitism in Lublin, he immigrated to New York City, where his uncle lived. He worked in sweatshops while studying English, started to study law at New York University in 1918, worked briefly as a teacher, then switched to journalism. He married in 1919. In 1920, together with Aaron Glanz-Leyles (1889-1966) and N. B. Minkoff (1898-1958), Glatstein established the Inzikhist (Introspectivist) literary movement and founded the literary organ In Sich. The Inzikhist credo rejected metered verse and declared that non-Jewish themes were a valid topic for Yiddish poetry. His books of poetry include Jacob Glatshteyn (1921) and A Jew from Lublin (1966). He was also a regular contributor to the New York Yiddish daily Morgen-Zhurnal and the Yiddisher Kemfer in which he published a weekly column entitled "In Tokh Genumen" (The Heart of the Matter). Glatstein was interested in exotic themes, and in poems that emphasized the sound of words. He traveled to Lublin in 1934 and this trip gave he came to believe that war in Europe is increasingly likely. After this trip, he returned to writing on Jewish themes, including works that eerily foreshadowed the holocaust. After the Second World War, he became known for passionate poems written in response to the Holocaust, but many of his poems also evoke golden memories and thoughts about eternity. Only later in life did he win acclaim as an outstanding figure of mid-20th-century American Yiddish literature, winning the Louis Lamed Prize in 1940 for his works of prose, and again in 1956 for a volume of collected poems titled From All My Toil.
