He and Chana Bloch, a poet, translator and professor emerita of English at Mills College, raised two sons, Benjamin and Jonathan, in Berkeley, and collaborated several times, including on 1989’s translation of Dahlia Ravikovitch’s The Window, New and Selected Poems and six years later on an authoritative translation of the biblical Song of Songs.
