description: "H. Leivick was a Yiddish language writer, known for his 1921 \"dramatic poem in eight scenes\" The Golem. He also wrote many highly political, realistic plays, including Shop. He adopted the pen name of Leivick to avoid being confused with Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, another prominent Yiddish poet."
