- SHUMIATCHER-HIRSCHBEIN, ESTHER (1899–1985), Yiddish poet.
Born in Gomel, Belorussia, and emigrating with her family to Calgary,
Canada, in 1911, she married peretz hirschbein . Her poetry and
two children's plays in verse reflect her many travels as well as
political, natural, erotic, and (following the birth of her son, Omus,
in 1934) maternal themes. After her husband's death she wrote poems of
grief and mourning. Her poetry appeared in major Yiddish periodicals;
her books were In Tol ("In the Valley," 1920); Pasn
Likht ("Streaks of Light," 1925); In Shoen fun Libshaft
("In the Hours of Love," 1930); Ale Tog ("Every Day," 1939);
Lider ("Poems," 1956). Although she continued to lecture and
write, she published little from 1956 until her death, and was largely
dependent on her family for support. Her works of 1934 and later were
more highly regarded than her earlier writings.
