Detailed
Description		    Moshe Bassin (1889–1963), Yiddish poet. Bassin, who was born in Nivki, Belorussia, immigrated to New York from Russia in 1907. From 1909 he contributed lyrics, folk ballads, and children's songs to American Yiddish journals. His reputation rests on two works: a two-volume, 600-page anthology, 500 Yor Yidishe Poezye ("500 Years of Yiddish Poetry"), with notes on the earlier selections by Ber Borochov, which became a standard work; and an anthology of American Yiddish poetry Amerikanishe Yidishe Poezye (1940), encompassing 31 poets. Bassin's own lyrics appeared in various periodicals but were never collected in book form.
