Flowers of Perhaps de Ra'hel

Ra'hel (Bluwstein) was born in Russia in 1890. She arrived in Palestine in 1909 and soon became a passionate kibbutznik.

Her tightly woven Hebrew poetry expressed a zeal for the Land and nature, as well as the anguish of unrequited love, childlessness, and illness.

Her last years were painful ones as she suffered from TB until her death in 1931. Ra'hel's timeless poems have become true Israeli classics, with many set to music.

Flowers of Perhaps is the first English-language collection of this beloved Israeli poet. Robert Friend's introduction contains much new biographical information never before published in English.
